Saint Augustine
St. Augustine sits on Florida’s northeast Atlantic coast in the United States, where the Matanzas River and Matanzas Bay shape its historic waterfront. Founded by the Spanish in 1565, it is widely regarded as the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the continental United States. The coquina walls of Castillo de San Marcos, a Spanish fort begun in 1672, stand beside the bay. West of the old city, Interstate 95 forms a major north–south corridor through St. Johns County, while St. Augustine’s central streets and waterfront retain an unusually concentrated record of Spanish colonial and later Florida architecture.

Built around a Spanish colonial settlement on Matanzas Bay, St. Augustine grew into the oldest continuously occupied European-established city in the United States. Founded in 1565, it preserves an unusually concentrated colonial core beside Florida’s Atlantic coast. The coquina walls of Castillo de San Marcos, begun in 1672 by the Spanish, recall the long contest for control of the peninsula; it is the oldest masonry fort in the contiguous United States. St. George Street runs through the historic district, while Flagler College occupies the former Ponce de Leon Hotel, completed in 1888.

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
