Jamestown Island w 1958

Jamestown, także Jamestown Island – wyspa na rzece James w stanie Wirginia.

W 1607 roku Anglicy założyli na wyspie pierwszą stałą osadę na Kontynencie Amerykańskim, nazywając ją na cześć króla Jakuba I Stuarta. Od 1619 r. miała własne zgromadzenie ustawodawcze. Do 1700 r. osada była stolicą kolonii Wirginia. Od 1936 r. stanowi teren Colonial National Historical Park[1].

Flag of the United States.svg
The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.

Jamestown Island is a 1,561-acre (632 ha; 2.439 sq mi) island in the James River in Virginia, part of James City County. It is located off Glasshouse Point, to which it is connected via a causeway. Much of the island is wetland, including both swamp and marsh.

In 1607, the Jamestown Island (then a peninsula) became site of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. The town lasted until 1699, when it was abandoned in favor of a new site at Williamsburg. By the early 20th century, the isthmus connecting the landform to Glasshouse Point had eroded, making it a proper island. Today, most of the island is a part of Colonial National Historical Park.
