Jamestown received permission to establish a new settlement through a charter granted by King James I of England in 1606. This charter was awarded to the Virginia Company, a joint-stock company, which aimed to explore and colonize parts of North America. The company was tasked with finding gold, establishing trade, and creating a permanent English presence in the New World. In 1607, they successfully established Jamestown, becoming the first permanent English settlement in North America.
