The Powhatan and the English: 1607–1618
After several failed attempts to colonize North America, the English in 1606 formed the Virginia Company of London and soon after arriving in North America, selected a strategic site for a fort. While idyllic to the English, the chosen land was unoccupied but not unclaimed. The period of conflict with the Powhatan that followed would echo across the continent for centuries.
