Newfoundland was settled by Indigenous peoples, including the Beothuk and Mi'kmaq, long before European contact. The first European settlers were likely the Vikings, led by Leif Erikson around 1000 AD, who established a temporary settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows. However, permanent European settlement began in the early 17th century, primarily by English and French fishermen and later by settlers from England, Ireland, and other parts of Europe, drawn by the rich fishing grounds. This led to the establishment of colonies, trade, and ultimately the development of communities throughout the region.

Was the first English colony in North America?

The first English colony was most likely St. John's, Newfoundland (now in Canada), settled permanently since 1583. However, there are other communities on the island of Newfoundland (such as Harbour Grace) dating from 1583 as well, so the exact first colony is hard to pin-point and has been lost to history. Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina was settled in 1587, but the colony failed and was "lost". Jamestown, VA was not settled until 1607.
