[edit] Permanent?
It doesn't seem so, from the description. -- Decumanus | Talk 22:07, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Permanent, yes; successful, no. It was the first permanent year-round French colony as opposed to seasonal fishing villages or temporary trading posts. Rmhermen 13:33, Apr 28, 2004 (UTC)
- O.K. I see the definition being used. By that definition, Roanoke is the first permanent British settlement in North America, not Jamestown?.-- Decumanus | Talk 13:38, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I wouldn't have called Jamestown the first but I find 5 places on Wikipedia do (and the NPS for what that's worth ;) [1]) Rmhermen 14:12, Apr 28, 2004 (UTC)
