It's always been known as Jamestown - in honor of King James I of England. http://www.historyisfun.org/History-Jamestown.htm
In 1607, men started a colony in Jamestown. With their minds only on gold, they searched and searched, but eventually there supplies ran out and about a third of the population was left. John Smith managed to bring them together with his "no work, no food" policy. He was elected leader, but a gunpowder explosion sent him to England for medical care.

No. The first European settlement in what is now the United States was in what is now Pensacola, Florida (settled in 1559). The first successful permanent settlement was in what is now St. Augustine (settled in 1565). North Carolina was not settled until the 1580s (and both of those settlements failed).
Virginia of course! It's where Jefferson came from too. Read the book: a short history of the united states. It's in the first 30 pages that explains the three types of colonies in the 1600s: proprietary, etc.
