Roanoke Colony

The Roanoke Colony is the name given to two attempts by Sir Walter Raleigh to establish a permanent English settlement in North America. An expedition by Sir Humphrey Gilbert had claimed the territory of St. John's, Newfoundland in 1583 but failed to form a colony when Gilbert was lost at sea. The first Roanoke colony was established by governor Ralph Lane in 1585 on Roanoke Island in what is now Dare County, North Carolina, United States. Following the failure of the 1585 settlement, a second colony led by John White landed on the same island in 1587, and became known as the Lost Colony due to the unexplained disappearance of its population.
