London Company, also called Virginia Company, one of two English joint-stock companies chartered April 10, 1606, to colonize in North America. The other was the Plymouth Company. On May 14, 1607, the first London expedition, commanded by Captain Christopher Newport, founded the settlement of Jamestown, Virginia. The company was reorganized in 1609 and again in 1612. In May 1624 it was dissolved because of difficulties in colonizing Jamestown.
