Jamestown was established in 1607 as the first permanent English settlement in North America, primarily driven by economic motives. The Virginia Company sought to exploit the resources of the New World, aiming to find gold, silver, and a passage to the Indies. Additionally, the settlement aimed to expand English territory and compete with Spanish and French colonial powers. Over time, Jamestown also became a site for tobacco cultivation, which significantly contributed to the colony's growth and profitability.
