In what century was the jamestown colony founded?

The colony of Jamestown was founded in the 17th century.

Explanation:

Jamestown was the first British settlement in the territory of the modern United States. It existed from 1607 to 1699, after which it was abandoned.  

In 1606, King James I of England secured the right to colonize Virginia for two joint-stock companies: London and Plymouth. The London company hired captain Christopher Newport. On December 9, 1606, the Newport expedition, consisting of three ships, left the Thames mouth to the south. In April 1607, ships entered the Chesapeake Bay.

The British landed on the continent on May 14, 1607. The new fort was named by Jamestown in honor of King James I. On June 22, Captain Newport sailed to England for settlers and provisions, leaving 104 permanent settlers in the colony.
