St. Augustine, Florida is the nation's oldest city. Though the city was formed before it became an official part of the nation, it was founded at least forty years before any other city in what is now the United States of America. While fire has twice destroyed St. Augustine, its inhabitants never allowed its historic significance to wane because they insisted on rebuilding the town as its founders first built it. Because of its historic significance, it is relevant to all Americans; so many people visit St. Augustine to get a feel for what life in early America was truly like.
