Jamestown is mostly a small [[agricultural]] community.  There is a local [[bank]] that services accounts through the area. Through local efforts and federal funding, a community center, activities center, and public library have been added to the downtown area.  A large number of residents complete their shopping in nearby [[Concordia, Kansas]].

The opening day of [[hunting]] season brings an influx of people who enjoy small bird game hunting.  Also, the nearby [[Jamestown Wildlife Area]] (commonly called "Jamestown Lake") provides fishing for local [[Fisherman|anglers]] seeking small fish such as [[perch]], [[crappie]], and [[Bass (fish)|bass]].

A weekly newspaper called the ''Jamestown Settler'' was published from 1977 until 1983.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83040956/|title=About The Jamestown settler.
