St. Augustine, Florida
This is my book
about St. Augustine, Florida. St. Augustine is
located between Jacksonville and Datona Beach. It is on the
east coast of Florida. La Florida is a word
that mean "land of flowers." La Florida is a Spanish word
too. Henry Flagler turned
St. Augustine into a luxurious vacation spot. Henry flagler
was a railroad worker too. he bought a railroad line. He
made tours. Pedro founded St.
Augustine. He was a Spanish explorer. Since Menendez
spotted land on August 28, he called it St. Augustine.
That's how St. Augustine got it's name. I think St.
Augustine was the first American colony because Native
Americans were here before the pilgrims. Natives were all
over North America, so they were in St. Augustine
first. St. Augustine has lots of historical stores. They have
the oldest school house in the
U.S.A.
