The first settlers of Jamestown were all men. Most of them were gentlemen looking for gold. They hoped to get rich quick and then return to England. Few of the men were used to the hard rigors and work that it took to survive in the New World.
Jamestown is one of the most important historical sites in the United States. It was established on May 14, 1607 in the Colony of Virginia. It was the site of the first English settlement in the United States. History tells us that the place was called as such in honor of King James I of England. When the English settlers landed on Jamestown in 1607 a settlement was established represented by the Englishmen from Virginia Company in London. There is a major reason why Jamestown was founded. Settlers wanted to gain more wealth and quick profit from gold mining. The settlers also wanted to experience religious freedom and to evade from the taxes being imposed to them in England.
