English Colony Governance
Jamestown, Virginia, was the first permanent English colony in America, but the second was not far behind. The Virginia Company incorporated Bermuda under its 1612 charter and sent out a group to settle there. Listen to this audio interview with Steve Clark of WCVE and Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation historian Nancy Egloff about English Colony Governance.
Administered by the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia that is accredited by the American Association of Museums.
