This colony was first to be established in america by the british

Hi there!

The Thirteen Colonies, also known as the Thirteen British Colonies or Thirteen American Colonies, were a group of British colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America founded in the 17th and 18th centuries. They declared independence in 1776 and formed the United States of America.

Hoped this helps and have a great day!

Roanoke (Virginia) was the first official colony by the British in America, dating sometime in 1585. However, the inhabitants of the colony mysteriously disappeared in 1590, so there was a little break in terms of settling. Later, Jamestown was settled by the British in 1607, also located in Virginia, for the purpose of finding gold, and later, tobacco.

Technically, Roanoke was the first British colony. However, Jamestown was the first surviving colony.

Hope this helps. :)
