History of Manns Harbor• Roanoke Island’s history is legendary. Long before

Jamestown and Plymouth were settled, the island played host to the first English-speaking colonists in America.

• In 1584, an English fort and settlement with more than 100 men was established on the north end of the island, but it was abandoned the following year due to weather, lack of supplies and poor relations with the Native Americans. The colonists and natives didn’t get along despite the fact that the two local chiefs, Manteo and Wanchese, had been taken to England in hopes of forming good relations.
