Jamestown was the first permanent English colony in America. The first known Europeans to land on what is now Jamestown Island, Virginia, were about 100 men and boys. They came ashore on May 24, 1607.

The purpose for the colony of Jamestown was to establish the first English Colony in the New World. The group also planned to explore Virginia and trade with the Indians.
