Tobacco was a major cash crop in Virginia starting in the 1600s. It was introduced by John Rolfe, the husband of Pocahontas in 1614. Most other crops, including corn and wheat, were grown only for personal consumption. Cities such as Lynchburg, Blackstone, and Danville were centers of tobacco production. In the 1770s Virginia merchants shipped seventy million pounds of tobacco each year.
Tobacco farming in the state of Virginia is extremely profitable.
