The London Company and the Plymouth Company were English joint-stock companies established in the early 17th century to promote the colonization of North America. The London Company focused on settling in the Virginia area, leading to the establishment of Jamestown in 1607, while the Plymouth Company aimed to explore and settle parts of New England. Both companies were granted charters by King James I, allowing them to claim land and govern their respective territories. Their efforts laid the groundwork for the expansion of English settlements in North America.
