Colonial Virginia

Colonial Virginia's economy was primarily based on agriculture, particularly tobacco, which became a cornerstone of its growth from 1619 to 1640. The arrival of women in 1620 allowed settlers to establish families, making Jamestown a more permanent settlement. The introduction of African labor, first through indentured servitude and later as enslaved individuals, further expanded the tobacco economy. The establishment of the House of Burgesses in 1640 marked the birth of elected governance in America. The cultural landscape evolved with influences from Native Americans, Africans, and Europeans.
