Before Jamestown was successfully established in 1607, there were several failed attempts to settle Virginia. Notable among these were the Roanoke Colony expeditions in 1585 and 1587, both led by Sir Walter Raleigh. The first attempt resulted in the settlers returning to England, while the second ended with the mysterious disappearance of the colonists. Overall, at least two major attempts prior to Jamestown were unsuccessful.
