2. Oldest in the Continental U.S.: St. Augustine, Florida. Established in 1565 by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European-founded settlement in the continental United States.

3. Oldest Continuously Inhabited Settlement: Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico.
If you consider cities predating European colonization, Acoma Pueblo is widely recognized as the oldest continuously inhabited community in the United States. It has been continuously occupied since roughly 1200 AD.
