In 1607, a small band of settlers founded the first permanent English outpost in the Americas: Jamestown in the colony of Virginia. At that time, another town already had existed since 1565 in a different part of the New World—making it the oldest continuously occupied European community in the country.
Given its history, St. Augustine, Florida offers visitors a setting that captures not just the stories but also an authentic atmosphere of its colorful past. That comes to life primarily in the city’s 144-square-block historic district.
