CROATOAN was the sole complete word found on Roanoke Island by John White on 18 Aug. (It is believed that Manteo’s mother was a tribal monarch of the Croatoans.) Ethnologists and anthropologists believe that the word “Croatoan” may have been a combination of two Algonquian words meaning “talk town” or “council town.”

The primary reason that the Roanoke colony failed was that its settlers were unprepared for the challenges that faced them in the colony due to the deceit inherent in the accounts and drawings published by Raleigh’s initial explorations of the area.

There are many theories about what became of Roanoke, none of which are particularly pleasant. Historians have posited that the colonists were killed by Native Americans or hostile Spaniards, or that they died off due to disease or famine, or were victims of a deadly storm.

A single word “CROATOAN” was carved on a post in the fort. In 1587, at the urging of fellow colonists, Governor White had returned to England to gather supplies for the blossoming colony. Before leaving Roanoke Island, White and the colonists agreed that they would carve a message in a tree if they moved.

European artifacts, including (clockwise from top left) pieces of a slate writing tablet, clay tobacco pipes, a stoneware vessel, and a German token could help pinpoint where colonists retreated after abandoning Roanoke Island, North Carolina.

“Croatoan” was the name of an island south of Roanoke, now Hatteras Island, which at the time was home to a Native American tribe of the same name.

The settlers, who arrived in 1587, disappeared in 1590, leaving behind only two clues: the words “Croatoan” carved into a fort’s gatepost and “Cro” etched into a tree. Theories about the disappearance have ranged from an annihilating disease to a violent rampage by local Native American tribes.

The Croatoan virus in Supernatural Supernatural’s virus was one transmitted by blood. It’s unclear how Patient Zero was infected in that episode, but likely through a demon. In later episodes, the virus was added to vaccines to help spread the infection around the world quickly.

There are also over 6,000 residents that call Roanoke Island home, and who are spread out between the towns of Wanchese and Manteo. Wanchese is a dominantly residential village, with few accommodations for visitors, however it is a picturesque small fishing town that is definitely worthy of a road trip exploration.

Albemarle Sound lies on its north, Roanoke Sound on the eastern, Croatan Sound on the west, and Wanchese CDP lies at the southern end. The town of Manteo is located on the northern portion of the island, and is the county seat of Dare County….Roanoke Island.

It is one of history’s greatest unsolved mysteries: what happened to the lost colony of Roanoke Island? Founded in August 1585 by Queen Elizabeth I’s favourite, Sir Walter Ralegh, the first English settlement in the New World was found abandoned without a trace of the colonists in 1590.

The Roanoke Colonies were an ambitious attempt by England’s Sir Walter Raleigh to establish a permanent North American settlement with the purpose of harassing Spanish shipping, mining for gold and silver, discovering a passage to the Pacific Ocean, and Christianizing the Indians.
