The Coming of the English
London Company and Plymouth Company Grants
This map illustrates the 1606 grants by James I to the London and Plymouth companies. The overlapping area (shown in yellow) along the northeastern coast of the United States was granted to both companies on the stipulation that neither found a settlement within 100 miles (160 km) of each other. The location of the Jamestown Settlement ("J") is shown just south of the overlapping area, 60 miles from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.
