Best Answer

The first Europeans to settle in St. Augustine, Florida were the Spanish. St. Augustine, Florida was founded in 1565 by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. The admiral named it St. Augustine because his ships bearing settlers, soldiers, and supplies from Spain first sighted land on August 28th, the feast day of Saint Augustine.
