St.Augustine Florida

St. Augustine, founded in 1565, is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the continental United States. Spanish exploration began in 1513, led by Ponce de León, followed by the establishment of the first permanent European colony by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. Over centuries, St. Augustine changed hands from Spanish to British rule, with key events such as the Treaty of Paris. Today, it boasts popular attractions like the historic center, Flagler College, and the Alligator Farm, reflecting both its rich past and vibrant present.
