What about the Vikings landing in Canada in the 10th-11th centuries? They had an establishment in Newfoundland.

Deborah , The question refers to a "colony." The Norse never really had a colony in Newfoundland. First there was a small temporary base for exploration. Then some men and women tried (unsuccessfully) to establish a settlement.

Not much choice. The other 3 ARE in North America, and no similar names elsewhere in the world.

Actually, Pensacola,FL was the first settlement established in 1559. It was short lived due to hurricanes and loss of supplies.
