In the early 1600s, a British company called the Virginia Company wanted to expand and explore new land. The king of England, James I, approved their trip to the New World, and 104 settlers arrived, led by Captain John Smith. They named their settlement Jamestown.
As a result of the new settlement, many things happened. The group built a fort and other buildings designed to protect themselves and they began trading with some Native Americans.
Life was difficult for the new settlers, but the winter of 1609 was particularly harsh. Because of this harsh winter, less than one-fifth of the five hundred colonists survived. But the settlement continued. The people grew crops and sold them to England as well as to Native Americans in the area.
As soon as word got back to England that the Jamestown settlement was beginning to thrive and make money, more settlers came to other parts of the eastern coastline.
