Jamestown, established in 1607, was owned by the Virginia Company, a joint-stock company based in England. The company received a charter from King James I, granting them the right to establish a settlement in the New World. Over time, the colony became a critical part of the English colonial effort in America. Eventually, it transitioned from a company-owned settlement to a royal colony in 1624.
