The original European colony in North America were Vikings from Greenland, which was part of the Greenland-Iceland-Denmark-Norway grouping of kingdoms.
Later, the following European countries established colonies of some sort in North America, in relative order of the [geographic] size of their colonies:
- Spain
- United Kingdom (specifically England & Scotland)
- France
- Russia
- Portugal
- Sweden
- Netherlands
- Germany
- Denmark
Naturally, both the geographic and population size of these colonies varied widely over time. In terms of modern impact, the top three are the only ones which have had a significant long-term influence.
