King James I granted a charter to the Virginia Company, a group of London-based entrepreneurs, in June of 1606. The charter granted the group the right to settle in the new world (North American continent), and found an English satellite colony there.
The settlers landed on Jamestown Island on May 14th, 1607, and founded Jamestown on the banks of the James river, approximately 60 miles from Chesapeake Bay.
Jamestown was the first settlement of English citizens, in what is now known as the United States of America.
