England began to establish colonies in North America in the early 17th century, with the founding of Jamestown in Virginia in 1607, which was the first permanent English settlement. This was followed by the establishment of other colonies, such as the Pilgrims' Plymouth Colony in 1620 and the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. These early settlements marked the beginning of extensive English colonization efforts on the continent.
