The Jamestown Exposition was one of the many world's fairs and expositions that were popular in the United States in the early part of the 20th century. It was held from April 26 to December 1, 1907, at Sewell's Point on Hampton Roads, in Norfolk, Virginia, and commemorated the 300th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown in the Virginia Colony, the first permanent English settlement in the present United States.
During the planning phase, virtually no one thought that the actual isolated and long-abandoned original site of Jamestown would be suitable.
This was because Jamestown had no facilities for large crowds, and the fort housing the settlement was believed to have been long-ago swallowed by the James River.
There were also no rail lines nearby. However, there was an assumption in many parts of the state that Richmond, the state capital, would be chosen as the site of the celebration.
Hampton Roads' interest was awakened by a bugle call in the form of an editorial in James M. Thomson's Norfolk Dispatch, on February 4, 1901, proclaiming:
"Norfolk is undoubtedly the proper place for the holding of this celebration. Norfolk is today the center of the most populous portion of Virginia,
and every historical, business and sentimental reason can be adduced in favor of the celebration taking place here rather than in Richmond."
