The purpose of the first English colony of Jamestown, established in 1607, was primarily economic. It aimed to generate profit for the Virginia Company of London through the exploration and extraction of resources, such as gold and other valuable commodities. Additionally, it served as a strategic foothold for England in North America, allowing for expansion and competition against Spanish and French territories. Over time, it also became a site for the establishment of permanent English settlement in the New World.
