The English made a colony called Roanoke twice but both times it failed. I think the next establishment built was Jamestown (in Massatchusetts). That one "survived"
The Virginia Company of London got a charter to settle land in North America to get a profit. They sent a hundred men to build a town and never saw the place themselves.
Roanoke Island, in what was then considered Virginia but is now North Carolina, was the first English settlement. Unfortunately, none of the colonists survived. Jamestown VA was the first permanent colony. The first English colony in North America was established on Roanoke Island in 1585, in what is now North Carolina. A second colony, the so-called Lost Colony, was established two years later, but vanished. A third colony was established at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607.
