Oldest European Settlement In FLA.

[Olden]

"The search is over. The longstanding mystery is solved. The location of the oldest established European multi-year settlement in the United States is indeed in the heart of Pensacola.

Discoveries by local historian Tom Garner in October and research afterward by University of West Florida archaeologists confirmed where Don Tristan de Luna established his Spanish colony in August 1559 – six years before the St. Augustine settlement and nearly 48 years before the English settled in Jamestown, Va."

I bet Tom Garner & John Worth were thinking the same thing, given that they had 5 days to excavate before the new house was started.
