Best Answer

St. Augustine came first. St. Augustine was founded in 1565, while Jamestown was not founded until 1607. Jamestown is correctly called the first ENGLISH colony in what is the present day continental U.S. However, St. Augustine, a SPANISH colony, is the oldest European settlement of any sort in the U.S.
