During the 1600s, the promise of wealth, fertile land, and plentiful food attracted settlers to an area of Virginia known as the Jamestown Colony (the first permanent settlement in the U.S.) As the colony developed, even more English colonists sailed to Jamestown. The influx of settlers became especially high once the headright system had been established, promising 50 acres of land per settler. Other motives for leaving included England included poverty and issues with the government.
