The English arrived and started a settlement in Jamestown in 1607. The first group was made up of 104 men and boys. The first English women arrived in 1608, but there were only two of them. Around 90 more women arrived in 1620, and an additional 50 in 1621.

in 1606, English merchants started the Virginia company of London. their goal was to build a settlement in North America. king of England gave the Virginia company a charter to start their settlement. the owners of the Virginia company needed money to buy ships and supplies. they raised money by asking people to invest in their company.if colonists found treasure,people who invested in the company would earn money.

in 1607, about 100 men and boys traveled to present day Virginia. the settlers built a fort on the banks of a river, they named their colony Jamestown after king james1.THE settlers faced many obstacles. the land was swampy, the water wasn't good for drinking,and insects carried disease's.

then JOHN SMITH took command of Jamestown. he ordered people to plant crops he said:

"he who does not work,will not eat"
