History and Growth of St. Augustine, Florida

Founded in 1565 by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, St. Augustine grew around a harbor and mission outpost that Spain defended. After wooden forts kept burning, the Spanish began building the Castillo de San Marcos in 1672, building with coquina quarried on Anastasia Island; it’s the stone fort you walk through today. North of town, Fort Mose took shape in 1738 as the first sanctioned free Black settlement in what’s now the United States. The British era came and went, and the Gilded Age arrived when Henry Flagler opened the Ponce de León Hotel in 1888—now Flagler College. Growth since then has ebbed and flowed with tourism, preservation, and transportation, even turning up new finds in Lincolnville as archaeologists work under the city’s preservation rules.

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument in St. Augustine, FL

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument greets you with massive coquina walls that have stood since the 1670s, making it the oldest masonry fort in the continental U.S. As you walk across the drawbridge, you’ll step into a star-shaped stronghold that once faced off against pirates, British sieges, and centuries of storms. You can wander rooms that stored supplies or housed soldiers, then climb to the gundeck for sweeping bay views. Cannons still line the walls, and on weekends you’ll see reenactors fire them, complete with smoke and sound echoing over Matanzas Bay. Park rangers and costumed guides share stories of battles, resilience, and local life, turning stone walls into living history you can feel all around you.

Update: Asado Life Waterfront Restaurant Site In St. Augustine Purchased By Operators

You’ll probably smile when you hear that Asado Life’s operators have purchased the waterfront site they’ve been running for the past few years. Instead of just leasing space, they now own it, which changes the energy completely. Ownership feels like planting deeper roots, showing real belief in the city and in the dining experience they’ve built. You can imagine the team having more freedom to shape the property, add creative touches, and keep the open-fire grilling vibe that made it stand out. For you as a guest, it’s a sign of stability—you know the place isn’t going anywhere. It’s one of those business moves that quietly boosts both the restaurant’s future and St. Augustine’s growing food scene.
