In 1607 and 1609, several groups of Separatists settled in the New World, specifically in the area that would become Virginia. The most notable group, the English Pilgrims, established the Plymouth Colony in 1620 after initially settling in Leiden, Netherlands. Prior to that, the Jamestown settlement was founded in 1607 by the Virginia Company, marking the first permanent English settlement in North America. These settlements were driven by the desire for religious freedom and economic opportunities.
