<span style="color: white;">Pedro Menéndez de Avilés</span></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The vicinity of St. Augustine was first explored in 1513 by Spanish explorer and governor ofPuerto Rico, Juan Ponce de León, who claimed the region for the Spanish crown.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6">[6]</sup> Prior to the founding of St. Augustine in 1565, several earlier attempts at European colonization in what is now Florida were made by both Spain and France, but all failed.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The French exploration of the area began in 1562, under the Huguenot captain Jean Ribault. Ribault explored the St. Johns River to the north of St. Augustine before sailing north, ultimately founding the short-lived Charlesfort on what is now known as Parris Island, South Carolina. In 1564, Ribault's former lieutenant René Goulaine de Laudonnière headed a new colonization effort. Laudonnière explored St. Augustine Inlet and the Matanzas River, which the French named the River of Dolphins.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7">[7]</sup> There they made contact with the local Timucua chief, probably Seloy, a subject of the powerful Saturiwa chiefdom, before heading north to the St. Johns River. There they established Fort Caroline.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">Later that year some mutineers from Fort Caroline fled the colony and turned pirate, attacking Spanish vessels in the Caribbean. The Spanish used this as a catalyst to locate and destroy Fort Caroline, fearing it would serve as a base for future piracy, and wanting to dissuade further French colonization. The Spanish quickly dispatched Pedro Menéndez de Avilés to go to Florida and establish a base from which to attack the French.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-nhl_5-1">[5]</sup></span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Pedro Menéndez de Avilés sighted land on August 28, 1565. As this was the feast dayof Augustine of Hippo, the territory was named <i>San Agustín</i>. The Spanish sailed through the St. Augustine Inlet into Matanzas Bay and disembarked near the Timucuatown of Seloy on September 7.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-FLMNH_8-0">[8]</sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-FLMNHp2_9-0">[9]</sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-10">[10]</sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-11">[11]</sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-12">[12]</sup> Menéndez's goal was to dig a quick fortification to protect his people and supplies as they were unloaded from the ships, and then to take a more proper survey of the area to determine the best location for the fort. The location of this early fort has been confirmed through archaeological excavations directed by Kathleen Deagan on the grounds of what is now the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-13">[13]</sup> It is known that the Spanish occupied several structures in Seloy, the chief of which, known as Chief Seloy, was allied with theSaturiwa, Laudonnière's allies. It is possible, but undemonstrated, that Menéndez fortified one of the occupied Timucua structures as this first fort at Seloy.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-FLMNH_8-1">[8]</sup> In the meantime, Jean Ribault, Laudonnière's old commander, arrived at Fort Caroline with more settlers for the colony, as well as soldiers and weapons to defend them. He also took over the governorship of the settlement. Despite Laudonnière's wishes, Ribault put most of these soldiers aboard his ships for an assault on St. Augustine. However, he was surprised at sea by a violent storm lasting several days. This gave Menéndez the opportunity to march his forces overland for surprise dawn attack on the Fort Caroline garrison, which then numbered several hundred people. Laudonnière and some survivors fled to the woods, and the Spanish killed almost everyone in the fort except for the women and children. With the French displaced, Menéndez rechristened the fort as San Mateo, and appropriated it for his own purposes. The Spanish then returned south and eventually encountered the survivors of Ribault's fleet near the inlet at the southern end of Anastasia Island. Menéndez executed most of the survivors, including Ribault; the inlet was thus named for the Spanish word for slaughters, <i>matanzas</i>.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The first slaves in the territory that we now regard as the United States were brought to St. Augustine on the day it was founded by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés on September 8, 1565. Menéndez’s contract with King Phillip afforded him three years to import 500 African slaves.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-14">[14]</sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template">[<i><span title="The material in the vicinity of this tag may rely on an unreliable source from May 2011">unreliable source?</span></i>]</sup> In 1566, Martín de Argüelles was born in San Agustín, the first European child who was recorded as born in the continental United States. Argüelles was born in San Agustín 21 years before the English settlement at Roanoke Island in Virginia Colony, and 42 years before the successful settlements of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Jamestown, Virginia. Additionally, the first recorded birth of a black child in the continental United States is in the Cathedral Parish Archives. Augustin was recorded as born in the year 1606, thirteen years before enslaved Africans were first brought to the English colony at Jamestown in 1619.<sup class="Template-Fact">[<i><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from May 2011">citation needed</span></i>]</sup> In territory under the jurisdiction of the United States, only Puerto Rico has continuously occupied European-established settlements older than St. Augustine.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">St. Augustine was intended to be a base for further colonial ventures across what is now the Southeastern United States, but such efforts were hampered by apathy and hostility on the part of the Native Americans towards becoming Spanish subjects. The Saturiwa, one of the two principal chiefdoms in the area, remained openly hostile. In 1566 the Saturiwa burned down St. Augustine and the settlement had to be relocated. Traditionally it was thought to have been moved to its present location, though some documentary evidence suggests it was first moved to a location on Anastasia Island. At any rate, it was certainly in its present location by the end of the 16th century.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-15">[15]</sup></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The settlement also faced attacks from European forces as well. In April 1568 the French soldier Dominique de Gourgues led an attack on Spanish holdings. With the aid of the Saturiwa, Tacatacuru, and other Timucua peoples who had been friendly with Laudonnière, de Gourgues attacked and burned Fort San Mateo, the former Fort Caroline. He then executed his prisoners in revenge for the 1565 massacre, but he did not approach St. Augustine itself. Additional French expeditions were primarily raids and were unable to dislodge the Spanish from St. Augustine. The English also believed Admiral Avilés and the Catholic Spanish were responsible for the disappearance of the English fishing settlements in America which had been established by John Cabot. Thus, following the disappearance of the Roanoke colony in Virginia, the blame was immediately leveled at St. Augustine. Consequently, on June 6, 1586 St. Augustine was attacked and burned by English privateer Sir Francis Drake and the surviving Spanish settlers were driven into the wilderness. However, lacking sufficient forces or authority for permanently establishing a settlement, Drake left the area.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">In 1668 St. Augustine was attacked and plundered by English privateer Robert Searle. In the aftermath of his raid, the Spanish began in 1672 the construction of a more secure fortification, theCastillo de San Marcos, which still stands today as the nation's oldest fort. Its construction took a quarter of a century, with many later additions and modifications.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The Spanish did not have as many slaves in Florida as the English Americans had in the colonies to the north, as it was basically a military outpost rather than a plantation economy. As the British settlements moved farther and farther south, the Spanish adopted the policy of giving sanctuary to slaves who could escape from British plantations and make their way to Florida. Thus did it become the focal point of the first Underground Railroad. Blacks were given sanctuary, arms, and supplies if they joined the Catholic Church and swore allegiance to the king of Spain. As the British established settlements closer to Spanish territory, with Charleston in 1670 and Savannah in 1733, Spanish Governor Manual de Montiano in 1738 established the first legally recognized free community of ex-slaves as the northern defense of St. Augustine, known as Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose, or Fort Mose.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">In 1740 St. Augustine was unsuccessfully attacked by British forces from their colonies in the Carolinas and Georgia. The largest and most successful of these was organized by Governor and General James Oglethorpe of Georgia who managed to break the Spanish-Seminole alliance when he gained the help of Ahaya the Cowkeeper, chief of the Alachua band of the Seminole tribe.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">In the subsequent campaign Oglethorpe, supported by several thousand colonial militia and British regulars along with Seminole warriors, invaded Spanish Florida and conducted the Siege of St. Augustine during the War of Jenkin's Ear. During this siege the black community of St. Augustin proved its worth when during the siege it proved decisive in stopping the city's take-over by the British. The leader of Fort Mose during the battle was the legendary Capt. Francisco Menendez (creole), who was born in Africa, twice escaped from slavery, and played an important role in defending St. Augustine from raid by British colonists to the north. The Fort Mose site is now owned by the Florida Park Service, and recognized as a National Historic Landmark.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">In 1763, the Treaty of Paris ended the French and Indian War and gave Florida and St. Augustine to the British, in exchange for the British relinquishing control of occupied Havana. With the change of flags, almost all of the population of 3,100 Spaniards departed from St. Augustine.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">James Grant was appointed the first governor of East Florida, and served from 1764 until 1771, when he returned to Britain due to illness. He was replaced as governor by Patrick Tonyn.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">During this time the British converted the monks quarters of the former Franciscan monastery into military barracks which were namedSt. Francis Barracks. They also built The King's Bakery which is believed to be the only extant structure in the city built entirely in British period.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The Lieutenant Governor of East Florida under Governor Grant was John Moultrie who was born in South Carolina, he had served under Grant as a major in the Cherokee War and remained loyal to the British Crown. Moultrie's brother William Moultrie, after whom Fort Moultrie in South Carolina is named, was a general in the Continental Army. His brother Thomas was a captain in the American 2nd South Carolina Regiment who was killed in the Battle of Charleston, while his half-brother Alexander became the first Attorney General in South Carolina and was held prisoner in St. Augustine while John was acting British Lieutenant Governor. Moultrie was granted large tracts of land in the St. Augustine vicinity upon which he established the plantation of "Bella Vista" he owned another 2,000-acre (8.1 km<sup>2</sup>) plantation in the Tomoka River basin named "Rosetta". While acting as the lieutenant governor he lived in the Peck House on St. George Street.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">Another large development effort during the British period was the establishment in 1768 of the colony of New Smyrna, by Andrew Turnbull, a friend of Grant's. Turnbull recruited indentured servants from the Mediterranean, primarily from the island of Minorca. The conditions at New Smyrna were abysmal, prompting the settlers to rebel en masse in 1777 and walk the 70 miles (110 km) to St. Augustine, where Grant gave them refuge.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The story of the Minorcan colony (as the entire group came to be known) is told, fictionally, in the book <i>Spanish Bayonet</i> by Stephen Vincent Benet, a prominent descendant of one of the leading Minorcan families of St. Augustine. The Minorcans stayed on in St. Augustine through all the subsequent changes of flags, to become the venerable families of the community, marking it with language, culture, cuisine and customs.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The Treaty of Paris in 1783, gave the American colonies north of Florida their independence, and ceded Florida to Spain in recognition ofSpanish efforts on behalf of the American colonies during the war.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">On September 3, 1783, by Treaty of Paris, Britain also signed separate agreements with France and Spain, and (provisionally) with the Netherlands. In the treaty with Spain, the colonies of West Florida, captured by the Spanish, and East Florida were returned to Spain, as was the island of Minorca, while the Bahama Islands, Grenada and Montserrat, captured by the French and Spanish, were returned to Britain.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">Florida was under Spanish control again from 1781 to 1821, but St. Augustine since 1784. During this time, Spain was being invaded byNapoleon between 1808 and 1814 and was struggling to retain its overseas territories. Florida no longer held its past importance to Spain, thus, in 1821 the Adams–Onís Treaty peaceably turned the Spanish provinces in Florida and, with them, St. Augustine, over to the United States as a way of compensating the American government for the civil claims that were in part caused by undefined border areas with Spanish territories.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">In 1861, the American Civil War began and Florida seceded from the Union and joined the Confederacy. On January 7, 1861, prior to Florida's formal secession, a local militia unit, the St. Augustine Blues, took possession of St. Augustine's military facilities, including Fort Marion and the St. Francis Barracks, from the lone Union ordnance sergeant on duty.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">Crew from the USS <i>Wabash</i> reoccupied the city for the United States government without opposition on March 11, 1862, and it remained under union control for the remainder of the war. In 1865, Florida rejoined the United States.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">After the war, former slaves in St. Augustine established the community of Lincolnville in 1866, named after President Abraham Lincoln. Lincolnville, with the largest concentration of Victorian Era homes in St. Augustine, also became a key setting for the Civil Rights Movement a century latter.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">After the Civil War, Fort Marion was used twice, in the 1870s and then again in the 1880s, to house first Plains Indians and then Apaches who were captured in the west. The daughter of Geronimowas born at Fort Marion, and was named Marion, though she later chose to change her name. The fort was also used as a military prison during the Spanish-American War of 1898. It was finally removed from the Army's active duty rolls in 1900 after 205 years of service under five different flags. It is now run by the National Park Service, and called the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">Henry Flagler, a partner with John D. Rockefeller in Standard Oil arrived in St. Augustine in the 1880s and was the driving force behind turning the city into a winter resort for the wealthy northern elite.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16">[16]</sup> Flagler bought a number of local railroads which were incorporated into theFlorida East Coast Railway, which built its headquarters in St. Augustine.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17">[17]</sup></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">Flagler contracted the New York architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings to design a number of extravagant buildings in St. Augustine, among them the Ponce de Leon Hotel and the Alcazar Hotel built partly on land purchased from Flaglers' friend and associate Andrew Anderson and partly on the bed of Maria Sanchez Creek, which Flagler had filled with the archaeological remains of the original Fort Mose. Flagler built or contributed to several churches, including Grace Methodict, Ancient City Baptist, and, most ornate, the Venetian-style Memorial Presbyterian Church.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">Flagler had Albert Spalding design a baseball park in St. Augustine, and the waiters at his hotels, under the leadership of Frank P. Thompson, formed one of America's pioneer professional black baseball teams, the Ponce de Leon Giants. It later became the Cuban Giants, and one of the team members, Frank Grant, has been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">In the 1880s, there was no public hospital between Daytona Beach and Jacksonville. On May 22, 1888, Flagler invited St. Augustine's most influential ladies to his Ponce de León Hotel and offered them a hospital if the community would commit to operate and maintain the facility. The Alicia Hospital opened March 1, 1890, as a not-for-profit institution, but was renamed Flagler Hospital in 1905.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-18">[18]</sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-19">[19]</sup></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The extravagant Florida Land Boom of the 1920s left its mark on St. Augustine with the establishment (though not completion) of Davis Shores, a landfill project on the marshy north end of Anastasia Island, which was promised to be "America's Foremost Watering Place". It was reached from downtown St. Augustine by the Bridge of Lions, billed as "The Most Beautiful Bridge in Dixie".</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">During World War II, St. Augustine hotels were used for the training of Coast Guardsmen, including the celebrated artist Jacob Lawrenceand actor Buddy Ebsen. It was also a popular place for R&R for soldiers from nearby Camp Blanding, including Andy Rooney and Sloan Wilson who went on to write the classic 1950s novel <i>The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: white;">St. Augustine was a pivotal site for the Civil Rights Movement in 1963–1964.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-20">[20]</sup></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">Efforts by African Americans to integrate the public schools and public accommodations such as lunch counters were met with arrests and Ku Klux Klanviolence. Non-violent protesters were arrested for participating in peaceful picket lines, sit-ins, and marches. Homes were firebombed, black leaders were assaulted and threatened with death, and fired from their jobs.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-branch_21-0">[21]</sup></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">In the spring of 1964, St. Augustine civil rights leader Robert Hayling asked theSouthern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and its leader Martin Luther King, Jr. for assistance. From May until July 1964, they carried out marches, sit-ins, and other forms of peaceful protest in St. Augustine.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">Hundreds of black and white civil rights supporters were arrested, and the jails were filled to overflowing. At the request of Hayling and King, white civil rights supporters from the north, including students, clergy, and well known public figures, came to St. Augustine and were arrested.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The KKK responded with violent attacks that were widely reported in national and international media. Popular revulsion against the Klan violence generated national sympathy for the black protesters and became a key factor in passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-branch_21-1">[21]</sup></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The city is a popular travel destination, for its Spanish colonial-era buildings as well as elite 19th century architecture. The city's historic center is anchored by St. George Street, which is lined with historic homes from various periods. Most of these homes are reconstructions of buildings that had been burned or demolished over the years, though a few of them are original.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-23">[23]</sup> <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-24">[24]</sup></span></div>

<span style="color: white;">The St. Augustine Alligator Farm, incorporated in 1908, is one of the oldest commercial tourist attractions in Florida, as is the Fountain of Youth, which dates from the same time period. The city is one terminus of the Old Spanish Trail, a promotional effort of the 1920s linking St. Augustine to San Diego, California, with 3,000 miles (4,800 km) of roadways.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The city has a privately funded Freedom Trail of historic sites of the civil rights movement, and a museum at the Fort Mose site, the location of the 1738 free black community. Historic Excelsior School, built in 1925 as the first public high school for blacks in St. Augustine, became the city's first museum of African-American history. In 2011, the St. Augustine Foot Soldiers Monument, a remembrance of participants in the civil rights movement, was dedicated in the downtown plaza, a few feet from the Slave Market. Robert Hayling, the leader of the St. Augustine movement, and Hank Thomas, who grew up in St. Augustine and was one of the original Freedom Riders, spoke at the dedication ceremony. Another corner of the plaza was designated "Andrew Young Crossing" in honor of the civil rights leader, who received his first beating in the movement in St. Augustine in 1964. Bronze replicas of Young's footsteps have been incorporated into the sidewalk that runs diagonally through the plaza, along with quotes expressing the importance of St. Augustine to the civil rights movement. That project was publicly funded. Some important landmarks of the civil rights movement, including the Monson Motel and the Ponce de Leon Motor Lodge, had been demolished in 2003 and 2004.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">St. Augustine is located at <span class="plainlinks nourlexpansion"><span class="geo-default" style="display: inline;"><span class="geo-dms" style="display: inline;" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location"><span class="latitude">29°53′39″N</span> <span class="longitude">81°18′48″W</span></span></span></span> (29.89785, -81.31151).<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-GR1_1-2">[1]</sup> According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.7 square miles (27.8 km²), of which, 8.4 square miles (21.7 km²) of it is land and 2.4 square miles (6.1 km²) of it (21.99%) is water. Access to the Atlantic Ocean is via the St. Augustine Inlet of the Matanzas River.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><b>CLIMATE</b>:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">St. Augustine, Florida has a humid subtropical climate or Cfa – typical of the Gulf and South Atlantic states. The low latitude and coastal location of St. Augustine gives the city a mostly warm, sunny, and winterless climate. Like much of Florida, St. Augustine enjoys a high number of sunny days, averaging 2900 hrs annually. Unlike much of the USA, St. Augustine’s driest time of year is winter. There are essentially two seasons in St. Augustine, the hot and wet season (late May through October) and the warm and dry season (November through April).</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">In the hot season average daytime highs are in the 80’s and low 90’s (26 to 33°C) and average night-time lows are near 70°F (21°C). The Bermuda High pumps in hot tropical air from the Bahamas and Gulf of Mexico, giving St. Augustine summer conditions similar to tropical regions. A large amount of the yearly rainfall in St. Augustine falls from late May through September, typical of humid subtropical climates with a semi-monsoon pattern to rainfall. Intense, but very brief downpours are typical in mid summer in the city. The warm Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Stream current allow sea surface temperatures at ocean beaches around St. Augustine to often reach the lower 80’s in summer and fall. Fall and spring are considered near perfect weather-wise, warm and sunny, with daily highs in the 75 to 80 F range and overnight lows in the 50’s to low 60’s.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">In the warm and dry season, St. Augustine has mild and sunny weather typical of cities on the Florida pensuala. The coolest months are from December through February, average daytime highs range from 65 to 70°F and nighttime lows are in the 46 – 49 F range. From November through April, St. Augustine often has long periods of rainless weather. Often early spring (April) can see near drought conditions with brush fires and water restrictions in place. There are very few frosts in St. Augustine, the average being 6 per year. Snow is so rare that there are only two know occurrences in the last 100 years of snow falling in St. Augustine, in 1977 and recently in 2010. Summer thunderstorms can be occasionally severe, but tornadoes are rare in St. Augustine. Tropical cyclones occasionally impact St. Augustine, however, like most areas prone to tropical cyclones, a direct hit by a major hurricane is rare. The last direct hit by a major hurricane to the city was Doria in 1964.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Primary and secondary education in St. Augustine is overseen by the St. Johns County School District. There are no county high schools located within St. Augustine's current city limits, but St. Augustine High School, Pedro Menendez High School, and St. Johns Technical High School are located in the vicinity. The Florida School for the Deaf and Blind, a state-operated boarding school for deaf and blind students, was founded in the city in 1885.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-25">[25]</sup> The Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine operates the St. Joseph Academy, Florida's oldest Catholic high school, to the west of the city.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-26">[26]</sup></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">There are several institutions of higher education in and around St. Augustine. Flagler Collegeis a four-year liberal arts college founded in 1968. It is located in the former Ponce de León Hotel in downtown St. Augustine.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-27">[27]</sup> St. Johns River State College, a state college in the Florida College System, has its St. Augustine campus just west of the city. Also in the area are the University of North Florida, Jacksonville University, and Florida State College at Jacksonville in Jacksonville.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-28">[28]</sup></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: white;">The institution now known as Florida Memorial University was located in St. Augustine from 1918 to 1968, when it relocated to its present campus in Miami. Originally known as Florida Baptist Academy, then Florida Normal, and then Florida Memorial College, it was ahistorically black institution and had a wide impact on St. Augustine while it was located there. During World War II it was chosen as the site for training the first blacks in the U. S. Signal Corps. Among its faculty members was Zora Neale Hurston; a historic marker is placed at the house where she lived while teaching at Florida Memorial (and where she wrote her autobiography <i>Dust Tracks on a Road</i>.)<sup class="Template-Fact">[<i><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from May 2011">citation needed</span></i>]</sup></span></div>
