i had this question too and nobody had an answer to it!! someone needs to anwer it!!!!!!!!! Jamestown colony is important to England because it was the first English settlement after many years of failure.
Permanent colonization of the New World began in 1607 with the English settlement of Jamestown, in what we now call Virginia. From the beginning, Jamestown, which was named after King James I, had its troubles.
The general consensus is that the first permanent English settlement in America was Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. However, the oldest permanent English settlement in North America is St. John's, NL, Canada, established in 1583 according to records on and from Sir Humphrey Gilbert, making this fact as credible as (or even more so), claims from other, more Ameri-centric, "historians".
