When the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in 1629.

Improvement: The English first attempted settlement on Roanoke Island, present-day North Carolina. This colony failed, and the English only finally "succeeded" at Jamestown, Virginia, which was initially settled by the English beginning in 1607. Incidentally, the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in November of 1620, not 1629.

The British settled in various areas in North America. Mainly in the Hudson bay area and the 13 colonies. but before that it was just small settlements and such as Jamestown and St. George in Bermuda, these were small settlements, one of the long lasting one was not an English starter but a Dutch one. It was New Amsterdam, it was conquered by the English 1664 and renamed it NewYork because of the generals name was York. skipping a head a bit, the English gained Acadia from the french in 1713 because of the treaty of Utrecht. And gaining Florida from the Spanish in 1763 because of the 7 year war also known as the first global conflict. English focus was mainly to modern day America and Canada but it also had a foothold on Belize andMosquito coast. Of course both Canada and America became independent in very different ways. One peaceful other more violent but swifter.
