St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest continuously occupied European-founded city in the United States — but few people realize how many empires ruled it. From Spain to Britain, back to Spain, then the United States and the Confederacy, this city changed flags again and again — often without a single battle.
Founded in 1565, St. Augustine began as a Spanish military outpost designed to protect treasure fleets and enforce imperial power. Over the next 400 years, control of the city passed through multiple empires, each leaving behind architecture, culture, and conflict that still shape the city today.
In this video, we break down:
Why Spain founded St. Augustine
How Britain transformed Florida’s economy
Why Spain lost Florida permanently
When the United States took control
Why Confederate rule lasted barely a year
It’s the story of global empires, diplomacy, and power struggles playing out in one small city on Florida’s coast.
