The name refers to the colony of men, women and boys who traveled to Roanoke Island (in what is now North Carolina) in 1587. Their governor, John White, returned to England in August of 1587 to secure more supplies for the struggling colony. When he returned to Roanoke Island in 1590 there was no trace of the colonists. They had abandoned the settlement and were never heard of or from again. Thus they became known as "the lost colony." This is a brief and true report, with the emphasis on 'brief'.
