England first explores and tries to establish a colony at Roanoke Island in 1584, which is an island in the NC Outer Banks. Queen Elizabeth of England gave him a charter to explore and set up a permanent colony in North America. Raleigh invested his own money to pay for trying to establish a colony at Roanoke Island.
