Jamestown, established in 1607, was primarily settled by men due to the initial focus on economic ventures, specifically the search for gold and other resources. The Virginia Company, which funded the expedition, aimed to establish a profitable colony, and men were viewed as essential for labor and military defense. Additionally, the challenging conditions and harsh environment of early colonial life made it difficult to sustain families, leading to a predominantly male population in the early years. Over time, as the colony stabilized, women and families began to arrive, contributing to the growth of the settlement.
