Actually, it was the Norse (Vikings) who first settled and started colonies in the 11th century. Settlements were started and maintained in both Greenland and Newfoundland, some lasting more than 200 years before Columbus first arrive in Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and Cuba. There is some debate that even these early settlements were pre-dated by Polynesian settlers arriving in South America.
