Old Acoma
Is Acoma, New Mexico The oldest & not St Augustine, Fl?
The oldest continuously occupied city in the United States:
Acoma, New Mexico: Forty minutes drive east of Grants, New Mexico, lies the Pueblo (village) of Acoma, built on a sandstone mesa 367-feet above a valley and approximately 7,000 feet above sea level. The pueblo was built on a mesa for defensive purposes, keeping rival raiding tribes at bay. Native verbal history says Acoma was first inhabited about 700 AD although modern archeological evidence suggests it has been continuously occupied from 1150, making it America's oldest continually inhabited city. It is presently inhabited by a small population of Keresan-speaking Native Americans.
I believe St. Augustine is described as the oldest continuously occupied "European" settlement in the US, just like Jamestown Virginia is described as the oldest "English" settlement.
I think they've found evidence of somebody hanging out in the US back 10,000 to 14,000 years ago.
