The first attempt at permanent settlement was in 1587 on Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina. It was unsuccessful. The first successful permanent settlement was in Jamestown, Virginia. It was founded in 1607 and suffered some terrible hardships but ultimately it prevailed.

How did the north west mounted police make the Canadian west different than the American west?

Although it is an oversimplification, it is often said that the major difference between the settlement of the American West and the Canadian West, is that in America the people preceded the law, whereas in Canada the law preceded the people. The North West Mounted Police made their appearance on Canada's prairies before large numbers of settlers arrived. They were well-established beforehand, and maintained law and order throughout the settlement of the West.
