  1. Edit:

    No, I am not wrong.  It'sme stated she got her information from a textbook for advanced high school courses.  If so, the textbook is 100% wrong if it stated it was the first permanent English settlement.

    Here are links to the Jamestown settlement and the settlement by the Mayflower Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. The Plymouth Company of Virginia made a settlement in what is now Maine but like the colony at Roanoke Island in North Carolina in the 1500s it did not last.  The settlement at Roanoke Island is now known as the Lost Colony of North Carolina.

  3. A. Plymouth.

    edit- Sheirley T. is wrong. Plymouth was founded in 1607. That's straight out of my history text book. It was funded by the joint stock company called Virgina Company of Plymouth.

  4. C. Jamestown

  5. I don't have a clue but would still say Plymouth, it's the only one that's also a real English town (as far as I know...I'm pretty sure none of the others exist in England).
