American Colonization Began on the James River
The James River marked the start of American colonization with John Rolfe and Pocahontas at Varina near Jamestown cultivating tobacco. The river’s navigability shaped early transport, with improvements in 1827, 1852 64 costing 44000 and aiding traffic to about 100000 tons yearly. Obstructions during war delayed progress until 1870 when funds created the Dutch Gap canal. Congress later authorized deepening to 25 feet toward Richmond by 1930.
