Croatan Croatan

Croatan - Definition and Overview

Croatoan Island is an island near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

It is speculated that the Roanoke colonists might have fled there. Reasons given for this include the colonists' friendship with Monteo, a native of Croatoan Island, and a carving of the word "C-R-O-A-T-O-A-N" into a post of the fort, which was supposedly done in order to let John White know where they had fled.
