What was the name of the lost colony and what happened to the colony?

Answer 1

The lost colony was named Roanoke.

While many people consider Virginia to be the first colony, it is more appropriate to say that it was the first successful colony. Few people have heard about the so-called Lost Colony, a failed attempt by the English to establish a colony in the Americas. Originally established in 1587 on Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina. By 1590 it had disappeared without a trace. Navigator Sir Walter Raleigh (1554-1618) sent a group of colonists to America, but these ships were headed for areas near Chesapeake Bay, farther north (in present-day Virginia). Reaching the outer banks, the ships' commander refused to take the colonists to their destination and instead left them at Roanoke Island, the site of earlier failed attempts at colonization. The colonists' leader, John White, returned to England for supplies in August 1587. However, the ongoing war between England and Spain prevented him from returning to the colony until three years later. Arriving back at Roanoke in August 1590, he expected to be met by family members and the 100 or so settlers. Instead he discovered an abandoned area.

Two theories explain what might have become of the lost colonists: Since the shore of Chesapeake Bay was their original destination, the colonists might have moved there but, encountering resistance, perished at the hands of the Indians. Other evidence suggests that the colonists became integrated with several Indian tribes living in North Carolina. Either way, they were never seen ever again by the Europeans!

John White and more (Sir Walter Raliegh...exc.) came upon a carving that read 'CROATOAN'.
