The Lost Colony of Roanoke is also known as Roanoke Colony.
The Roanoke Colony was located on Roanoke Island in today's Dare County, North Carolina in the States.

This was an attempt by Queen Elizabeth I establish a permanent English colony in America.
Sir Humphrey Gilbert (see) was the one who originally organized and financed this venture. Then, his half-brother Sir Walter Raleigh took over the charter from the queen. Raleigh then assigned Sir Richard Grenville (his distant cousin) and Ralph Lane as his delegates.
The Roanoke Colony was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh or Ralegh.
