400-Year Anniversary of America - Jamestown

"On May 14, 1607, the Virginia Company explorers landed on Jamestown Island, to establish the Virginia English colony on the banks of the James River 60 miles from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay."

From "History of Jamestown" at www.apva.org/history/index.html

I was reading the book "Infamous Scribblers," by Eric Burns in Barnes & Noble and came across a part which noted that Jamestown Island had been settled in 1607 and it being 2007, realized it was exactly the 400-year anniversary of the settling of America.

According to that link, the first representative assembly in the New World convened in the Jamestown church on July 30, 1619.
