The Disappearing Colony

In 1584, the English established the Roanoke Colony on Roanoke Island in North Carolina. It was the first European colony in North America. The colony was sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh and led by John White. At one point, White returned to England to gather more supplies. However, when he returned to Roanoke the colony had disappeared. What happened to this original colony is still a mystery to historians. The only clue left was a carving on a tree that said "Croatoan."

Early Settlers

Throughout the late 1600s and early 1700s more English began to move into North Carolina. The first permanent town was established in Bath in 1705. As more people moved into the land, the Native Americans were being pushed out. The Tuscarora began to fight back in 1711 resulting in the Tuscarora War.
