Sir Walter Raleigh
i had this question too and nobody had an answer to it!! someone needs to anwer it!!!!!!!!! Jamestown colony is important to England because it was the first English settlement after many years of failure.
The first permanent colony was Jamestown. While it did not prosper in the beginning it was the first colony never to be completely abandoned. During and after the leadership of John Smith things started to look up for the colony, and while it hit a few more major stumbling blocks it eventually became a successful enterprise
The first English colony was established on Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina, in 1585. A second colony, the famous Lost Colony, was established two years later, but disappeared. A third colony, established in 1607 at Jamestown in Virginia, was more successful.
The Roanoke Colony had a governor. It was not a religious colony.
Sir Walter Raleigh was the govenor of the lost colony of Roanoke.
