The oldest European settlement in the continental US is Pensacola, Flordia, 1559, however it was destroyed shortly after is was established and rebuilt in 1698, 133 years after the establishment of Saint Augustine, Florida in 1565.

Jamestown, Virginia, which is often mistaken as the earliest colony or settlement was not established until 1607. St. Augustine even predates the first failed English attempts at Roanoke Island by 20 years.

Oraibi is a pueblo in Northern Arizona located on a mesa, north of Winslow. It was built around the year 1150 and was discovered by Pedro de Tova, a lieutenant of Coronado, in 1540. Oraibi was the most important pueblo of the Hopi Indians as it was the oldest, continually inhabited locale in North America. Today, Oraibi is little more than a ruin. St. Augustine, Florida, founded in 1565 by the Spanish explorer Pedro de Aviles, is the oldest European established city in the United States.
