Prior to settling Jamestown, there was significant interest among English investors and explorers in the potential for wealth through the discovery of gold and other valuable resources in the New World. The English sought to establish a foothold in North America to expand trade, particularly in commodities like tobacco and furs. Additionally, there was a desire to compete with other European powers, such as Spain and France, in colonization efforts. This combination of economic opportunity and national rivalry spurred the establishment of Jamestown in 1607.
