It didn't happen in just one year. Colonization attempts started in 1584 when Amadas and Barlow came to Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. Another expedition was sent in 1585, and another in 1587. The 1587 colony has come to be known as the lost colony. In 1603 Jamestown in Virginia was settled (but not without many problems). After that there was a succession of colonization voyages (Mayflower, etc.) throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.

My more learned colleagues will be able to give you correct information on the later voyages.
