In 1612 a man named John Rolfe introduced the cultivation of tobacco to the Jamestown settlement. He obtained samples of the "Nicotiana Tabacum" variety of tobacco (from a Spanish colony either in South America or Jamaica) which was superior to the "Nicotiana Rustica" variety grown locally. It is probable that John Rolfe was helped in learning cultivation technique by his wife, the famous Pocahontas.
