The Jamestown colony became profitable primarily due to the cultivation of tobacco, introduced by John Rolfe in 1612. This cash crop quickly gained popularity in England, leading to increased exports and economic growth for the colony. The success of tobacco farming also encouraged more settlers to migrate to Jamestown, further boosting its development and sustainability.
