Founding of St. Augustine, Florida 1565 Postcard

Founding of St. Augustine, Florida 1565 Postcard

Founded in 1565 by Spanish explorer Don Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, St. Augustine, Florida, is recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in what is now the continental United States. Menéndez de Avilés established the settlement on September 8, 1565, on the feast day of St. Augustine, giving it its name. The primary objective of this Spanish expedition was to thwart French ambitions in the region and protect Spanish interests. St. Augustine quickly became a strategic fortress, serving as a base for Spanish exploration and a defence against rival European powers. Over the centuries, St. Augustine's history has been marked by periods of Spanish, British, and American rule. It played a crucial role in Florida's colonial history, serving as the capital of Spanish Florida for more than two centuries. The city's architecture reflects its diverse heritage, with a blend of Spanish, British, and American influences. Today, St. Augustine is renowned for its historic charm, featuring well-preserved colonial-era buildings, cobbled streets, and a vibrant cultural scene. It remains a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its rich history, beautiful beaches, and distinctive Spanish colonial architecture.

Such a huge range of different frogs available, which made my choices very difficult and now the reason I have a whole draw full of cards and postcards! Much better quality than you can buy in the shops and they are exactly on the subject I love and adore too.
