The territory that is now North Carolina was originally part of the Province of Carolina, which was established by English colonists in the late 17th century. The province was initially a single entity but eventually split into two separate colonies: North Carolina and South Carolina in 1712. The first European settlement in North Carolina was established by the English in 1585 at Roanoke Island, although it ultimately failed.
