The first English colony founded in July 1587 was at Roanoke Island, located off the coast of present-day North Carolina. This attempt, led by Sir Walter Raleigh, is often referred to as the "Lost Colony" because when supply ships returned in 1590, the settlers had mysteriously vanished. The fate of the colonists remains one of American history's enduring mysteries.
