If you have ever read about the US history, its most likely someone taught you that the first settlers were British Pilgrims that came to American territory on the Mayflower and landed on Plymouth Rock, near Boston.
Well, in this video you will see how your history teachers lied to you: the actual first colony in American Territory is THIS lovely city in Florida called St. Augustine! Its home to so many of America's oldest things: the oldest street, oldest house, the first ever hotel with electricity and running water, as well as Magnolia Avenue, the most beautiful street in the USA!
St Augustine Florida is definitely a HIDDEN GEM, everyone should visit!

This is my hometown. When I was a child St. George Street was "town" where everyday shopping was done. It was dress shops, pharmacies, grocsry stores, furniture stores etc. It was also a street that could be driven on as well as drive through the city gate. My dad lived on St. George St. when he was a boy andhisdadhad a tropical fish stor and an antique shop there. It is indeed the oldest continuouslyoccupied city in the United States, not the oldest city.

One of my favorite cities! The Flagler Museum and Distillery are awesome ๐
-
Great tour of St. Augustine. People tend to forget or ignore this history.
-
Our favorite place to visit a couple times a year for about 25 years. But our last several visits there we have been put off by all the bums/street people camping out along the Main Street, St. George street, or down by the bridge of Lions etc.

Seems like a beautiful, charming town! Thanks for the historical insight ๐

St. Augustine is like a mix of South Carolina with New Orleans together. You couldn't tell the difference in pictures. Until you say the location. ๐
-
Loved the video (:
-
Pensacola Florida was founded 7 years before St. Augustine. However it was temporarily abandoned so St. Augustine is the oldest continuously inhabited city in America. Also, IMDB shows all the locations for Forrest Gump and St. Augustine is not listed.

This video is great and Old Trolley Tours is the best!! I am just a normal guy who loves the city too
-
Thanks! Well, that's my exercise for today. Time for a nap.

My family was one of the first families to come to Saint Augustine in 1565. Whatโs the best thing to see there to find something of them Iโm wanting to go maybe during the summer when Iโm off work and the kids are out of school

6:55 that fresh lemonade is actually really good if you didn't get it I highly recommend it next time. Also Scarlet O'Hara's bar and tavern is really good. Plus if you do the late night paranormal investigation tour at the old jailhouse I highly recommend it as well. Tell the works at the old jailhouse AR Paranormal sent you. They will love it.

Next time that you're in town, stop by to visit the Spanish Military Hospital Museum in Aviles Street (formerly Hospital Street, the oldest street in the U.S.). That section of town is the oldest and most picturesque. PS- You also need to stop by the Columbia Restaurant- nobody stops by the city without having the best Cuban fare in Florida!
