Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America, was established in 1607 by the Virginia Company, a joint-stock company based in England. The settlement was named after King James I of England, who granted the charter for the company's expedition. Initially, the Virginia Company managed the colony, but after several hardships, it was taken over by the Crown in 1624, making Jamestown a royal colony.
