St Augustine was founded by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés.
The area around St Augustine was originally inhabited by Timucua people who could be said to have "found" it first. French and Spanish explorers each discovered the area around St Augustine and claimed it for their respective home countries. Juan Ponce de Léon of Spain was the first to explore the area, then Jean Ribault of France.
