It was the first permanent English colony.

Founded in 1607 at Jamestown, Virginia, it became the starting point for sustained English settlement in North America—leading to developments like tobacco cultivation (John Rolfe), the 1619 House of Burgesses (early representative government), and the growth of the English colonial system.
