The unsuccessful English settlement at Roanoke Island in 1587 is commonly referred to as the "Lost Colony." This nickname arose because the colonists mysteriously disappeared, and their fate remains unknown to this day.
The Roanoke Island Settlement was planned and supported by Sir Walter Raleigh. He received a charter from Queen Elizabeth I of England to establish a colony in the New World and sent an expedition to Roanoke Island in 1585. However, subsequent attempts to establish a permanent settlement on Roanoke Island were unsuccessful.
The Roanoke settlement faced challenges such as lack of food supplies, conflicts with local Indigenous tribes, and unsuccessful attempts to obtain reinforcements from England. These factors, coupled with harsh weather conditions and internal disputes, led to the ultimate disappearance of the settlement.
Roanoke was established first in 1585, followed by Jamestown in 1607, and then Plymouth in 1620. Roanoke was ultimately unsuccessful and became known as the "Lost Colony." Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in North America, while Plymouth was established by the Pilgrims seeking religious freedom.
