The colonists named their settlement Jamestown, in honor of King James I of England. Established in 1607, it was the first permanent English settlement in North America. The location was chosen for its strategic position along the James River in present-day Virginia. Jamestown faced numerous challenges, including conflicts with Indigenous peoples and harsh living conditions.
