Sep 8, A Spanish expedition under Pedro Menendez de Aviles established the first permanent European colony in the present day St. Augustine, Fla. Aviles founded St. Augustine on the site of the Timucuan Indian village of Seloy, 42 years before the English settled at Jamestown and 55 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest permanent European settlement in the US. Castillo de San Marco fortress was built by the Spanish to defend St. Augustine.

Jamestown is the site of the first permanent English settlement in America [1607], the point at which the first representative legislative assembly convened [1619] to set a pattern for self government in America, the locale of stirring events in Bacon's Rebellion [1676—77], and the capital of the Colony of Virginia for 92 years [1607—99].
