Long before Jamestown, Spaniards, free and enslaved Africans and Native Americans crafted our country’s first enduring European settlement in 1565 – St. Augustine. First Colony: Our Spanish Origins explores this period of time through archaeology, history and the stories of people who lived there. These first colonial immigrants created America’s original “melting pot” – a colorful, multicultural society that was new then, but might seem familiar today.
