There aren't European countries in the Americas, but if you mean colonies, the first was the United States of America. The second was Haiti.
Some other European countries that explored and settled in the Americas include Spain, France, England, Portugal, and the Netherlands. Each of these countries established colonies and trading posts in different regions of the Americas during the Age of Exploration.

Portugal, Spain, Holland (Netherlands), England, France.
The Spanish established colonies in the Americas long before many other European countries because they were the early pioneers (or, pathfinders) in the Age of Exploration. With the inclination and income pertinent for supporting explorers, they sent out teams ready to colonize (and conquer) well before most of their European rivals.

Jamaica, for example, is no longer a colony, but an independent state that is part of a loose association of former colonies and the UK, known as the Commonwealth. If you are asking: why DID Europe colonize the Americas? It was to plunder their natural resources.
