 The
colony of St Augustine was first founded by the Spanish
when Pedro Menendez de Aviles landed on the Florida
coast in September 1565. The famous admiral
first spotted the land of St. Augustine FL on August 28th,
which happened to be the feast day of Augustine of
Hippo, thus he named the area San Augustine, after the
renowned philosopher and Saint. The colony was the
first established European colony in North America, as
these events occurred 21 years prior to the English
settlement at Roanoke Island in Virginia and 42 years
prior to the settlement of Jamestown. With such a vast
history, St Augustine is a dynamic and unique city
filled with new and old influences. Having survived
several wars, conflicts and a few occupations, St
Augustine is a city filled with diversity and
creativity. After thriving for more than five centuries,
