First European settlement: Vikings in Newfoundland
Leif Ericson was the first European Viking to set foot in the New World ( America), 500 years before Christopher Columbus. However, the vikings made few voyages to America after Leif and it was forgotten again until Christopher Columbus found it again in 1492.
Fla has the oldest settlement in the United States. The Spanish settled St. Augustine. The Vikings were in New Foundland 500 years before the first Europeans settled in North America, but New Foundland isn't in the United States.
I think they were the Vikings
The first European settlement in the lands now part of the Canadian Confederation would be the Viking settlement at what is now called L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland. The exact name used for the settlement by the Vikings is not known but it is part of the area they called Vinland. The Vikings also appeared to have settled on Baffin Island, an area they called Helluland.

1.the vikings were the first european to reach america,
This is a disputed answer. Some say the first European explorers to reach America were the Vikings, with Leif Erickson being the first of them. However, the settlement he founded in about the year 1000 AD in what the vikings called Vinland, and was probably on the coast of modern Newfoundland, Canada, lasted only a short time and the Vikings did not follow-up with further exploration and settlement. Erikson's exploration and settlement had little effect on Europe and none that we know of on America. The European exploration and settlement of America that had a lasting effect on both Europe and America was that which followed the exploratory journey of Christopher Columbus (called ChristoffaCorombo in his native Genoa and Cristóbal Colón in Spain) in the year 1492, some 500 years after Leif Erikson.

The vikings reached what is now called Newfoundland. Artifacts from their settlement were found to support this. They were presumably wiped out by the local Indians.
