The Spanish settlement that was farthest east in North America was St. Augustine, located in present-day Florida. Founded in 1565 by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, it is recognized as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the continental United States. St. Augustine served as a strategic military outpost and a center for Spanish colonial activities in the region.
