Jamestown was a settlement located on Jamestown Island in the Virginia Colony. Founded in 1607 by the explorer John Smith (of the legendary story of the Indian princess Pocahontas), it was the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States of America, following several earlier failed attempts, including the Lost Colony of Roanoke. It was founded by the London Company (later to become the Virginia Company), in England. Jamestown was the capital of the colony until 1699.
