Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

in 1607, 104 English men and boys arrived in North America to start a settlement. On May 13 they picked Jamestown, Virginia for their settlement, which was named after their King, James I. The settlement became the first permanent English settlement in North America.

Yes, it is true that the first permanent English colony in the New World was the Virginia Colony at Jamestown, since previous colonies, such as those in North Carolina, had ultimately failed.
