St Augustine Florida
St. Augustine, Florida, founded in 1565 by Spanish explorer and admiral Pedro Menendez, is the oldest continuously occupied European-established city and port in the continental United States. During what is known as the "Flagler era," Henry Flagler, a partner with John D. Rockefeller in Standard Oil arrived in St. Augustine in the 1880s and transformed St. Augustine into a winter resort. Much of the ornate architecture is known as Spanish Colonial. Today St. Augustine is an international tourist attraction, a sailboat community, and headquarters for the Florida National Guard.
