The Roanoke Island Colony mysteriously disappeared. John White, the governor of the Roanoke Island colony, returned from a supply trip to England to find the colony deserted. There were no signs of violence, but he could find no sign of the 100 colonists he had left behind, including his daughter and granddaughter. Roanoke Island Colony was the first English colony established in the New World.

∙ 15y agoThe first colony to disappear is generally thought to be the Roanoke colony, located in what is now North Carolina and established between 1585 and 1588.
However, some historians suggest that there is evidence of prior colonies by the Vikings and even the Chinese. If these colonies existed, they would have been earlier.
