St. Augustine, in the NE corner of Florida, is the oldest continually inhabited city in the United States. Founded in 1565 by the Spanish explorer Pedro Menendez, it came 21 years before the English settlement at Roanoke Island, VA and 42 years before the settlements of Santa Fe, NM and Jamestown, VA.
The town has done a great job of preserving historic treasures. Several late 19th century mansions and palatial grand hotels still exist, some converted to other use, such as housing parts of Flagler College and museums.
