On the Virginia coast. It was settled on 14 May 1607 at Jamestown Island
off of current day Virginia.
Jamestown, Virginia, is located on the Peninsula (a prominent historical area in Virginia). To find the city on a map of the United States, find the southeast corner of Virginia (near the North Carolina border on the Atlantic Ocean) and go slightly north. It's just north of Norfolk and very near Hampton and Williamsburg.

Jamestown, founded in 1607, started off slow. The one hundred and twenty men who came to this first permanent English settlement soon dwindled to forty, due to diseases, starvation-due to not being willing to work for their food, quarreling, and accidents. In the first seventeen years, out of the five thousand, five hundred people who had lived in the town, four thousand had died. The leaders of the town, especially John Smith, worked hard to keep the town going, but it was difficult. Although John Smith was the man who insisted that "if anyone would not work, neither would he eat," it was John Rolfe, Pocahontas' husband, that introduced the salvation of the colony, tobacco farming.

It was the first "sucessful colony". It was a royal colony English in fact. It was not as sucessful as it was given credit for...the people wanted gold and wanted to be rich from gold that they thought was in the 'new world'. There was no gold but they looked for it so much that they (population of Jamestown was mostly all men) did not plant or build good houses. They made bad relations with the Indians they always wanted help and their food since the people of Jamestown had none, there was a drought, and it was in a swamp in present day Virginia which was bad land and had mosquitoes and bad water that they had to drink. The disease spread, many died the first winter and new people had to come over. Eventually after about 3 years a few women came to Jamestown.

John Rolfe was the leader of the colony, and the husband of Pocahontas. Commonly (largely because of his memoirs and Disney) John Smith is confused with this, although it is unlikely that Smith ever knew Pocahontas. He was however a military Captain in the colony.

The men of Jamestown were sent by investors to make them a profit and not claim land or settle. It was by accident that it was a success. The 104 men who arrived died of diseases and starvation. Within 6 months only 34 men were alive. If it hadn't been for the introduction of tobacco by Rolfe the colony may have not succeeded at all. Tobacco saved Jamestown.

John Smith

In 1607, men started a colony in Jamestown. With their minds only on gold, they searched and searched, but eventually there supplies ran out and about a third of the population was left. John Smith managed to bring them together with his "no work, no food" policy. He was elected leader, but a gunpowder explosion sent him to England for medical care.
