St. Augustine is not only the largest city in Flordia, but it is also the oldest city in America. St. Augustine dates back to September 8, 1565 and was founded by the Spanish explorer and adventurer Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles.

St. Augustine is the OLDEST continually occupied city in the United States -- and yes, it is in Florida. It is older than any of the cities listed in answers (that do not identify St. Augustine) so far.

Jacksonville is actually the largest, when it comes to land coverage.
But Saint Augustine is indeed the oldest city in the United States, and was discovered by a Spanish conquistador who also found La Florida.

St. Augustine is the not the largest city in Florida. Jacksonville is in size. Miami is in population. St. Augustine is the oldest.
