The Lost Colony aka the Roanoke Colony din't become a colony because everybody in there mysteriously disappeared without a trace. The only clue we have is a word carved into a tree. "Croatoan".
The Lost Colony came from England?
The lost colony refers to the 1587 colony that tried to settle on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina.
The Lost Colony landed on Roanoke Island in 1587 and John White (father to Eleanor White Dare and Grandfather to the first English child born on American soil, Virginia Dare) came back in 1590 to find no one in the fort and the word CRO carved in a tree. The plan was for the Colonists to go with the Croatoan Indians if they had troubles so it was assumed that is what happened but no one knows for sure what actually happened to the 115 men, women and children. So the Lost Colony has been lost (as of 2014) for 424 years, so far.
Yes they left a carving on a tree that said croatan Gamemstr14
No it was never actually found because in the original social studies book for 5th graders the story says that the colonists were gone and all that was left was a carving in a tree CROUTON which is one of the Indian tribes that lived close to the colonists that lived in that settlement. Also if you have read about The Lost Colony at the end it says that many people are still searching for the lost colony artifacts and are trying to find out what happened to the lost colony.

No, England's colony on Roanoke Island, known as the "Lost Colony," was not a success. The colonists mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind only a carving of the word "CROATOAN" on a tree. The fate of the colony remains a historical mystery.

The word "CROATOAN" was carved into a tree at Roanoke, which is now known as the "Lost Colony" due to the mysterious disappearance of its inhabitants.
The carving in Roanoke was "CROATOAN," found on a post. This word was believed to be a clue left behind by the colony's inhabitants when they disappeared, possibly indicating they moved to Croatoan Island.
