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.
The first English colony comprising of men, women and boys (as opposed to military bastions) was in 1587. It failed, and has become known as the lost colony. This was the first ENGLISH colony. There were other attempts at colonization by other countries.

The Roanoke colony, founded in 1587, was established on Roanoke Island, off the coast of present-day North Carolina. It was intended as an English settlement in the New World, aimed at expanding English influence and exploring resources. The colony was built on the hopes of establishing a permanent presence in America, but it ultimately became known for its mysterious disappearance, with the fate of its inhabitants remaining unknown.
The first successful English colony was Jamestown (1607). The first attempts at colonisation were during the period 1584-1587. Three separate groups were sent. All were unsuccessful. The third group, "the Lost Colony"which was comprised of men, women and boys (no girls) disappeared some time after 1587.
