When were the first English settlements established on the Eastern coast? 1400 s 1500 s 1800 s 1600 s

The first English settlement on the Eastern coast of what is now the United States was established in 1607 when the Jamestown colony was founded in Virginia. This marked a significant moment in American history, paving the way for further colonization and the eventual development of the thirteen colonies. By the early 1600s, England was motivated to explore and colonize the New World as a way to find new trade routes and expand its influence. Following Jamestown, other colonies, such as Plymouth in 1620, began to shape the cultural and political landscape of America, leading to the rich tapestry of history that we explore today.
