I like Florida, but Stumpy, your statement that St Augustine is our nation oldest city is debatable. St Agustine is the oldest city in the Continental USA. However, San Juan, PR is the nation oldest city, founded by Juan Ponce de Leon ( The vicinity of St. Augustine was first explored in 1513 by Spanish explorer and governor of Puerto Rico, Juan Ponce de León, who claimed the region for the Spanish crown. Then, San Agustín was founded in September 1565 by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés,) San Juan was founded in 1508. This is 57 earlier than St Augustine...Many people say and argue that becuase PR is not a State that this statement does not count. Well PR is a US Territory and those who are born there (like me) are US Citizens...
