may 13, 1607 - Settlement at Jamestown
Description:
Jamestown--the first successful English colony--is settled in Virginia. This was the first time a permanent settlement had been established in the new world, and this proof of the possibility of life on this continent laid the groundwork of all of American society in the future. Without the establishment of Jamestown, the United States would not have existed.Added to timeline:
