The Lost Colony landed on Roanoke Island in 1587 and John White (father to Eleanor White Dare and Grandfather to the first English child born on American soil, Virginia Dare) came back in 1590 to find no one in the fort and the word CRO carved in a tree. The plan was for the Colonists to go with the Croatoan Indians if they had troubles so it was assumed that is what happened but no one knows for sure what actually happened to the 115 men, women and children. So the Lost Colony has been lost (as of 2014) for 424 years, so far.

The Lost Colony, also known as Roanoke Colony, has been lost since 1590. It was an English colony established in what is now North Carolina, USA, but the fate of its settlers remains unknown. The colony was abandoned and no conclusive evidence has been found to explain their disappearance.
