Jamestown was an English colony founded in Virginia on 13 May 1607, the first permanent British settlement in North America on the planet Earth.
History and specifics[]
While growing up in the 2240s decade, Christine Chapel wrongly thought the first United States settlement was Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts. She learned later in school that Jamestown had been founded earlier. (TOS reference: Official Cooking Manual)
In 2376, upon finding a ghost town on Prussura IV in the Badlands, a reporter accompanying the USS Crocket compared it to an abandoned Jamestown, mistaking it for America's Roanoke Colony. (ST - New Worlds, New Civilizations short story: "The Specter of Jamestown")
