Jamestown is located 60 mi from the mouth of the chesapeake bay
Jamestown was named after King James who was the ruler of England at that time
The colonists arrived at Jamestown on May 14, 1607
The first place that the settlers landed was a much safer place than where they ended up settling but because they got attacked by the indians almost immediately after they landed they moved to what now is Jamestown
The colonists landed where they did because they thought that it would be a good spot
It ended up not being a good spot because of the lack of good drinking water and the mosquitoes which brought diseases.
When Captain John Smith left the first time most of the colonist died of either disease, starvation, or indian attack
Of the 104 colonists that went to Jamestown only 60 survived
