Roanoke

Roanoke refers to the mysterious disappearance of the Roanoke Colony, established in 1587 on North Carolina's coast. Known as the "Lost Colony," its settlers vanished without clear explanation by around 1590. When a supply ship arrived, the only clue was the word "Croatoan" carved into a post. Historians believe they may have integrated with local tribes or faced hardships, but the exact fate remains unknown. The mystery of Roanoke has intrigued historians and the public for centuries, symbolizing early colonial struggles and unresolved histories.
