St. Augustine, Florida, was founded on September 8, 1565, by Spanish explorer Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. It is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the continental United States. The city was established as a strategic military outpost and a base for Spanish colonization efforts in the region. Its rich history reflects a blend of Spanish, Native American, and later American influences.
