Welches Land gründete in jedem US-Bundesstaat die älteste dauerhafte europäische Siedlung?
Was Honolulu betrifft – ich glaube, es existierte schon vor 1820, aber die ersten Weißen ließen sich dort 1820 nieder.

You’re about 82 years too late on Santa Fe. Spanish founded it in 1610.
Yes, I’m reasonably certain that the island of Honolulu existed before whites settled there.
fort buenaventura is a fun inclusion, since the original was a trapper stockade and got abandoned fast. utah history speedrun.
Fort de la Boulaye was abandoned, it’s not a permanent settlement. Also Fort Louis
Quite a few of your dates are off.
Not sure where you got the idea that honolulu was founded by americans given that it’s existed as a settlement since the 11th century and it came into prominence because king kamehameha III moved his court there in 1820
Unless you’re counting him as an american?
Fort Vancouver in Washington was built in 1825, and is still inhabited today. And Spokane House was built in 1810, though it was later abandoned.
How is a European settlement founded by Americans?
Let the record show that I find this map broadly interesting and am glad to have seen it. Thanks OP!
But as a native to one and not the other, Wethersfield is only Connecticut’s most ancient town, as per the sign on the border. Windsor is the first.
The focus on „European“ (= white) permanent settlements is a little weird. There are much older settlements in New Mexico and Arizona. Also, in Texas, wasn’t Ysleta established by missionaries AND indigenous people? Calling it a „European Settlement“ seems like a bit of a stretch since most of its inhabitants were not actually European.
Sault Ste. Marie is three years older than st ignace.
WV is wrong. Mecklenberg (aka Shephardstown) and Romney are the two oldest towns in WV and were both chartered in 1762. If I remember there’s some debate as to what year exactly their relative areas were actually permanently settled by Europeans but Romney is said to have been settled in 1725, which is two years before what you put from Shephardstown. Though I’m not entirely sure that 1727 is accurate either.
Nebraska’s oldest settlement is Bellevue which was founded in the 1820s.
Fort Saint Antoine was in Wisconsin not Minnesota?
It’s saying „English or British“ a bit redundant? Why not just say „British“?
Americans are European?
Really none founded by Germans ? Weren‘t they a lot of them coming too ? Or was is later ?
Very good effort. Cheers.
Didn’t the Russians have settlements all down the west coast until New Spain?
Oregon should also mention Oregon City, the first incorporated city west of the Missouri in 1829 (and, of course, the end of the Oregon trail)
