[QUOTE="STM, post: 149466, member: 12827"] Hmmmm. I am going to have to start paying attention to them, you never know. Pensacola is actually the very first Spanish settlement (1559) when they got to the New World. The Indians and a hurricane ran them off, however, so they sailed around the peninsula and landed in St. Augustine which is our first permanent settlement. We did celebrate our 450th anniversary four years ago, though. We are known as the city of Five Flags (Spanish, French, British, Confederate and Union). Our Catholic cemetery downtown is one of the oldest in our country. Both UWF (Univ. of West FL) and FSU archeological teams have done many digs in our downtown area and unearthed quite a number of very old artifacts from the earliest Spanish settlements. Our oldest standing building dates to around 1650 or so and is in the middle of our Historical District. [/QUOTE]
