It depends on when you start your dating and by whom. The French and the Spanish had settlements before the English. The French placed a colony of Huguenot exiles at Ft. Caroline on Florida's St. Johns River. The Spanish promptly wiped out these anti-Catholic refugees in 1565 and founded their own outpost at St. Augustine that same year. The English Jamestown was settled in 1607, so the Spanish and French settlement predate the English. Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec in 1608 and Montreal was created upstream in 1642. New France had more than 5,000 colonists by 1672.
