The capital of NC is named for Ralegh, although he never came to North Carolina. He also never spelled his name "Raleigh". When Ralegh's Roanoke expeditions took place there was no North Carolina. Ralegh named the land Virginia - in honor of Queen Elizabeth I. The three voyages - two to establish military bastions (1584 and 1585), and the third to attempt colonization - were unsuccessful. The third contingent (1587) comprising of men, women and boys ultimately became known as the lost colony. The first successful English attempt at colonization was in Jamestown, Virginia.
