Jamestown, founded in 1607, was the first successful permanent English settlement in what would become the United States. The settlement thrived for nearly 100 years as the capital of the Virginia colony; it was abandoned after the capital moved to Williamsburg in 1699.

At the beginning of the 17th century, England was lagging behind other nations when it came to colonization in the Americas.
