In 1584 Sir Walter Ralegh and his investors sent two barks under the command of Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe to discover a suitable place for establishing a military basion in the New World. The company consisted of men only and was not intended to be a permanent settlement, rather, it was a reconnaissance voyage.
In 1585 Ralegh and his backers sent a colony of 108 men to establish a military settlement on Roanoke Island.
In 1587 a group of approximately 120 men, women and boys traveled to the New World to establish a perment settlment. They were supposed to go to the Chesapeake Bay but were dropped off at Roanoke Island. Ralegh's interest in this voyage was not nearly so intense as his interests in the two earlier voyages. While he certainly assisted in the organization, definitely used his influence to facilitate matters there is no evidence that he expected any financial profit from the venture.
The Roanoke Colony was established by Sir Walter Raleigh.

Roanoke Colony or at least i think that is what you are asking for if not, sorry
1st English colony because it was established in 1607, before Massachusetts in 1620, that succeeded. There was an attempt in the late 1580's to establish an English colony called Roanoke in the outer banks region of what is now North Carolina. The Spanish were colonizing before that, but 'colonizing' might not be the correct term for Spain's 1st involvement in the New World. Since 1492 Columbus expeditions to the west, the Spanish were sending 'explorers' / conquerors to central America, especially Mexico. St. Augustine, Fl., was established in 1565, so it was before Virginia.
In the 1580's, English settlers attempted to colonize Roanoke Island in North Carolina. At this time the attempt at colonizing failed, but they came back to it and successfully colonized a few years later.

The Roanoke Island colony was initially established with support from Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth I of England. They provided funding and resources to establish the colony in the late 16th century.

It is an opinion because someone could like it and somenone could absolutely hate it. BY: PEACE PUP:) ;)
The country that colonized Newfoundland and Labrador was Europe. It was colonized in 1949.
If you count Roanoke as the first colony, then, it would be Jamestown. If you count Jamestown as the first, then it would be Plymouth.
Roanoke is important for its historical significance as the site of the "Lost Colony" - a mysterious disappearance of settlers in the late 16th century, which has intrigued historians for centuries. The story of Roanoke represents a pivotal moment in early American colonial history and serves as a cautionary tale about the challenges faced by early settlers in the New World. Additionally, the Roanoke Island area has since become a popular tourist destination and a center for cultural and historical exploration.
