What was the first permanent English Colony in North America and who was its leader?
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.
Virginia?? North Carolina?? I'm not really sure about it. Already thought about that one too, but I've never found any helpful information.....
The first permanent settlement in what is now the USA was Jamestown, Virginia, founded in 1607. Earlier attempts on Roanoke Island (in what is now North Carolina) were a failure.
Probably the first successful colony was the one at Jamestown, Virginia, established in 1607 (there was at least one other British attempt before it, but that settlement seems to have quickly vanished). The British colonists that arrived were sent by King James the First, who hoped to establish a presence in the "new world" and gain access to its Natural Resources. The first ships to land at Jamestown were under the command of Captain Christopher Newport.
Roanoke was the first settlement, but the people disappeared and the settelemnt was abandoned. Jamestown was the first permanant English settlement. It was named for King James I of England, and was founded in the Virginia Colony on May 14, 1607.
