A History of Jamestown. The founding of Jamestown, Americaâs first permanent English colony, in Virginia in 1607 â 13 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in Massachusetts â sparked a series of cultural encounters that helped shape the nation and the world.
St. Augustine, The First Permanent European Settlement The first Europeans to establish colonies in North America were the Spanish. In 1526 a Spaniard called Lucas Vasquez de Allyon attempted to found a colony in Carolina. (He also brought the first black slaves to North America). However the attempt failed. Many Spaniards died of disease and the survivors abandoned the colony. In 1565 Pedro Menendez de Aviles founded a settlement at St Augustine, Florida, the first permanent European settlement in what is now the USA. The first English attempt to colonize North America was made by a man named Sir Humphrey Gilbert.
