27. False: Boston/Philadelphia/Jamestown is the oldest metropolis within the U.S.
When you may suppose that one in all these cities (or let’s simply say “permanent settlements” since “cities” didn’t come alongside till later) is the oldest within the U.S., that honor really belongs to a metropolis in Florida.
Yep. Florida.
And it is sensible. The British weren’t the primary ones to get to what’s now the U.S. – the Spanish had been. And after they established St. Augustine, Florida, they had been created the very first European everlasting settlement all the best way again in 1565.
That is, after all, in the event you ignore (because the historical past books are inclined to do) all of the Native Individuals’s settlements (that colonizers by no means allowed to grow to be everlasting).
