History of the Oldest City in the United States
Our city of St. Augustine was founded on September 8, 1565, by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, Florida’s first governor. The city served as the capital of Spanish Florida for over 200 years. In 1824, the territorial government moved and made Tallahassee the capital.
