In 1607, the London Company settled the colony of Jamestown. The settlers overcame many odds to become the first permanent, English settlement in North America. In this lesson, learn about the failures and successes of Jamestown before it was taken over by the Crown.his disaster actually ended up being Jamestown's salvation a few years later-as we'll discuss in a moment.
