The general consensus is that the first permanent English settlement in America was Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. However, the oldest permanent English settlement in North America is St. John's, NL, Canada, established in 1583 according to records on and from Sir Humphrey Gilbert, making this fact as credible as (or even more so), claims from other, more Ameri-centric, "historians".
About 500,000,000 people speak English as a first language, so that would be around 7% of all humans speak English as a first language. As any other language but first, it is estimated that 2,100,000,000 humans speak English, or about 30%.
The first European settlers in America were 39 men left behind by Columbus when one of his three ships sank off Hispaniola at the beginning of the return voyage in 1492. However, when he returned a year letter, the settlement had been burned to the ground and all the men were dead. The Spanish founded Santo Domingo, their first permanent settlement, on the Island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean in 1496. The first permanent settlement on the mainland of South America was also Spanish, Santa Maria la Antigua del Darien in Panama, founded by Balboa in 1510. 55 years later the first European settlement in North America was founded, also by the Spanish, St. Augustine, Florida (1565). More than forty years went by after that before the English founded Jamestown, Virginia (1607), their first permanent settlement. They were followed by the French founding of Quebec in 1608 and the Dutch founding of New Amsterdam (New York City) in 1624.

No. The first people to settle in Jamaica were the Arawak and Taino people, indigenous tribes from South America. They arrived between the year 4000 BC and 1000 BC. However, the next people to arrive were the Spaniards, when Columbus claimed Jamaica for Spain in 1494 AD. The Spanish stayed here until the English kicked them out in the year 1665 AD. So, the Spaniards were not the first group to settle in Jamaica, but thet were the first Europeans to do so.
pilgrims^llI hate to be rude but the first to settle in the US were vikings. It may say in history that Pilgrims were first but even before them the Indians were here. Vikings came from all over. So Vikings are first. (If you improve don't erase the before answers)
They saw that the French and Spanish were getting rich off of trading with the Americas, so they decided to go over there too. They settled mostly because they were looking for a better life or wanted money. The land was cheaper in America, because the proprietors needed/wanted more people to settle in America so they could make more money.
They settle in South America because that's were they got trapped .When hunting for animals they had to climb over mountains and on the other side it was to step to climb so they had to settle there.
The Vikings were probably the first people to arrive on the continent. Christopher Columbus was the first European to land in America though he thought it was India. The Pilgrims were the first to settle there. and so was Melissa navarro
They were in Canada first, so Quebec.
