    Re: Kilted in the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the US

    Santa Fe was founded in 1608; St. Augustine in 1565, making it the oldest continuously occupied European city in North America. If I remember my Arizona history, Old Oraibi, a Hopi village, is generally considered by historians to be the oldest inhabited settlement in the USA (founded in 1100 AD).
