What island did early American settlers simply disappear from?

Hi.Sorry if this sounds very vague. I remember reading about an island (or possible coastal town) that was settled by early Americans. Houses were built and a community was raised,etc. But years later,it was found abandoned with no clue as to where the settlers went. What was the name of this island or coastal town? And has it ever been established to where these people went to and why? Thanks. X Sarah

Roanoke Island is an island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. About 12 miles long and 3 miles wide, the island lies between the mainland and the barrier islands, with Albemarle Sound on its north, Roanoke Sound on its east, Pamlico Sound on its south, and Croatan Sound on its west. The island contains the towns of Manteo at the northern end and Wanchese at the southern end.

The Roanoke Colony was the Second English colony in the New World, after St. John's in Newfoundland. It was founded at Roanoke Island in what was then Virginia (now North Carolina, United States) in two separate settlement groups, one in 1586, and a second group in 1587.

The enterprise was financed and organized by Sir Walter Raleigh, who had received a charter for the colonization of Virginia from Queen Elizabeth I of England.

The first settlers returned to England a year later after killing Winginia, leader of the natives; they had been running out of supplies. A second group of English settlers arrived on Roanoke Island on July 22, 1587 to re-establish the colony. Virginia Dare, granddaughter of Gov. John White of the colony, was born the next month on August 18th, becoming the first English child born in the Americas.

John White returned from a supply-trip to England on his granddaughter's third birthday after being postponed for three years by war, and found his settlement deserted. He organized a search, but his men could not find any trace of the colonists. Some 90 men, 17 women, and 9 children had disappeared; there was no sign of a struggle or battle of any kind, and the people seemed to have left suddenly in the middle of other tasks. The only clue was the word "Croatoan" carved on to a tree. White took this to mean that they had moved to Croatoan Island, but no evidence of them was found there either. What became of them is still a mystery; and Roanoke is often referred to as the Lost Colony. The site of the lost colony on the island is now a major tourist attraction, as is the North Carolina Aquarium.
