- TIMELINE FOR THE GENERAL HISTORY OF VIRGINIA
- Three ships leave England and set sail with 105 men and boys to establish a colony in Virginia
- After spotting land and scouting the area, the settlers step on land, naming it James Cittie, or Jamestown
- The colony loses over half of its settlers to starvation, disease, and Native American attacks
- Captain John Smith is captured by the Powhatan tribe and brought before Chief Powhatan; he claims that Pocahontas saves his life
- John Smith is elected President of the Virginia Council and issues the edict: “He that will not work shall not eat”
- Chief Powhatan and his tribe lay siege to James Fort, and all but 60 settlers inside die from starvation
- Smith is replaced by George Percy, and was injured in a gunpowder explosion. He returns to England, never to return to the colony or New World again
- Jamestown produces its first tobacco crop, which they export to England
- African indentured servants arrive on a Dutch ship; first meeting held of the Virginia General Assembly (House of Burgesses)
- A surprise attack by the Powhatans kills 342 colonists, although Jamestown is spared
