England made three initial attempts at colonizing America with the 1587 Roanoke colony, 1607 Jamestown colony, and 1620 Plymouth colony.The French and Spanish colonies, how-ever, predated the English by several decades.In the 1500s, France began to actively colonize North America, and in 1513 and 1521, Juan Ponce de Leon led expeditions to Florida, claiming the territory for Spain.In the 1560s, French Protestants tried to establish two colonies on the Atlantic coast.The first one, in present-day South Carolina, was unsuccessful; its starving inhabitants had to be rescued by a passing ship.The second, which was established near present-day Jacksonville, Florida, was destroyed in 1564 by a Spanish army.The next year, in 1565, Spain sent Pedro Menendez de Aviles to build the city of St.Augustine, which today remains the oldest continuously inhabited European city in the United States.Afterward, the French concentrated their efforts further north.By the early 1600s, a large area that included not only Canada but also what is now America's Great Lakes region and Mississippi River Valley was under French rule and named New France.
