The First English Settlements
After defeating the Spanish Armada, England became more interested in establishing colonies in North America. The first colonists arrived on Roanoke Island in 1587, but within three years, they had disappeared. Colonists with the chartered Virginia Company of London arrived in Chesapeake Bay in 1607, and built the first permanent English settlement in North America. Under the leadership of Captain John Smith, the Virginia colonists of Jamestown grew tobacco, improved relations with Native Americans, and began to prosper.
