Virginia colony was founded in 1607 by the English. It was founded for profit or to gain wealth. England also wanted to establish a permanent English settlement in Virginia to stake its claim in the New World. The English knew that the Spaniards already had colonies in South America and also had amassed great wealth from their ventures in the New World.
