Who was the first European settlement in the present day US?

The British tried to establish a settlement in North Carolina, known as Roanoke, in 1587 but the colony, known as the "lost colony", did not survive. The Jamestown colony in Virginia, was the first permanent British colony on the mainland U.S. St. Augustine, Florida, was founded in 1565 by the Spanish and is considered to be the oldest European permanent settlement on the mainland U.S. There are several Spanish settlements in Mexico that are older, however. St. John's and Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, Canada were established in 1583 and therefore both older than Jamestown or Roanoke.
