England settled it in 1623 as a fishing colony.
Proprietary Colony
The first known inhabitants of Bermuda were likely the indigenous peoples from the Americas, who arrived around the 16th century. However, the first recorded European to discover Bermuda was the Spanish explorer Juan de Bermúdez in 1505, after whom the islands are named. The first permanent settlers arrived in 1612, when the British established a colony on the islands.
A colony run by individuals or groups to whom land was granted is typically known as a proprietary colony. In this type of colony, the land is controlled by one or more proprietors who have been granted the rights to establish settlements and govern the colony.
The very first European settlers in Australia (not including the Aborigines who were the first inhabitants) were a mix of convicts, officers and marines, and free settlers, all of whom came from Britain.

The first Europeans to arrive in North America, at least the first for whom there is solid evidence , were Norsemen, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red founded a settlement around the year 985. In 1001 his son Leif is thought to have explored the northeast coast of what is now Canada and spent at least one winter there. In 1492, Christopher Columbus made his first landfall in the Western Hemisphere at either Samana Cay or San Salvador Island in The Bahamas, but it was not a permanent settlement. Many European fishermen fished the waters off the northern coasts of North America and the US but did not settle there. The Spanish conquistadores explored the Southwest of what would become the US in the 1500s but did not establish permanent settlements. St. Augustine, Florida, was founded in 1565 by the Spanish. The British tried to establish a settlement in Virginia, known as Roanake, Virginia, in 1587 but the colony, known as the lost colony, did not survive. The Jamestown colony in 1607 was the first permanent British colony in North America.
