▶ In this video, I explore the oldest cities in each U.S. state, providing historical information about their establishment, founders, and significant events. The journey begins with Saint Augustine in Florida, settled by the Spanish in 1565, and continues chronologically through each state. I cover a range of historical backgrounds, from Spanish colonization in places like Santa Fe, New Mexico, and San Diego, California, to the establishment of Plymouth, Massachusetts, by the Pilgrims in 1620. I emphasize the diversity of origins, including Dutch, French, and English settlers, as well as interactions with Native American tribes. The exploration concludes with Cheyenne, Wyoming, founded in 1867 with the arrival of the Union Pacific Railroad. I acknowledge the varying sizes and modern relevance of these cities, inviting viewers to share their experiences or correct any information presented.
