1620 - The Mayflower lands at Plymouth rock,
except there may not have been a rock there.
1621 - The Pilgrims hold the first Thanksgiving
with members of the local Wampanoag tribe,
except they weren't really called Pilgrims
until sometime between 1630 and 1650.
They were just... settlers.

unless you count the one at the Popham colony
in Maine in 1607, or the one in Jamestown Virginia
which took place in 1610.
