Jamestown Was Established May 14, 1607 The Virginia Company of England made a daring proposition: sail to the new, mysterious land, which they called Virginia in honor of Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen, and begin a settlement.

Weather conditions were rough and supplies were low.
Some of the tribe attacked settlers working in the fields.
