Welches Land gründete die älteste dauerhafte europäische (weiße) Siedlung in jedem US-Bundesstaat und jeder kanadischen Region? Hinweis: Ich habe die Staatsbürgerschaft der Siedler gezählt, nicht ihre ethnische Zugehörigkeit (so werden beispielsweise ethnisch französische Siedler, die als amerikanische Staatsbürger eine Siedlung gründeten, als Amerikaner gezählt).

    1. Gonna want to double check Ohio

      [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnadenhutten,_Ohio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnadenhutten,_Ohio)

      >
      Gnadenhutten, originally Gnadenhütten, was founded in October 1772 as the second settlement of German Americans and Lenape Indians affiliated with the Moravian Church. Tribes of Christian Lenni Lenape people had settled at Schoenbrunn nearby, founded months earlier by missionary David Zeisberger. On July 4, 1773, a baby boy was born to the Roth family, becoming the first white child known to be born in the Ohio territory

      Kind of surprised by Santa Fe being so early. You would think the Spanish would’ve settled in coastal Texas before making it all the way inland to New Mexico

      Mississippi isn’t accurate.

      While the French did establish a settlement in 1699, Fort Maurepas (sometimes also labeled Fort Bilocci which became Biloxi), it’s not actually within Biloxi. It’s in Ocean Springs, but it was later abandoned and so Ocean Springs is not a permanent settlement.

      Actual Biloxi was settled in 1720 (technically Fort Louis).

      But in 1716 other French colonists settled Natchez (technically Fort Rosalie) and it was never abandoned.

    4. It can be noted that the oldest European settlement in British Columbia was Spanish – Santa Cruz de Nuca in 1789. But they abandoned it and the region was then colonized by the British.

      Prairie du Chien, WI, was founded in 1673 by the French as the second oldest settlement (has the oldest surviving church though). Green Bay is the oldest.

      Fort Vancouver was settled by a British company operating in what is now the United States and Canada, not by Canadians.

    7. Showing Canadian/British as distinct with those dates shows how inaccurate this is…

    8. A bit of language mixing for Pennsylvania. Should be either Fort Nya Göteborg (Swedish) or Fort New Gothenburg (English).

    9. Would it be possible to redo this map showing the locations of those places?

    10. We breeze over New France in our modern stories but it was massive. …I wonder why they avoided what is now Iowa?

      Again with canadians and americans listed as kinds of europeans. That is not correct.

      I think the word you’re looking for is “colonizer.”

      I came here to correct you on West Virginia, but it looks like I was actually mistaken. The state lists both Romney and Shepherdstown as the oldest, the towns being founded in 1762. Interestingly, it looks like Romney was settled first in 1722 (Shepherdstown was 1734), despite being 50 miles further west and on the other side of the first serious mountains in the state

      Were they really European settlements if they were settled by Americans? If you are going by citizenship?

    14. Technically BC should be Fort St James (British) and Fort San Miguel (Spanish) 1789-1795 (permanently manned year round) *Abandoned and transferred to Chief Maquinna per the treaty of the third Nootka Convention. Otherwise Fort Victoria (1843) as Vancouver Island was a separate colony from BC until 1866.

    15. York factory is not staffed year round I don’t think it should count.

      I don’t think anyone has lived there since the 1950s?

    16. Modshatefreespeech99 on

      Vikings – 1000 AD -Newfoundland . Beat every one by a couple centuries .

    17. LOL Santa Fe wasn’t just “abandoned.” The Spanish were overthrown during the Pueblo Revolt, the only successful indigenous revolution against a European power on the continent.

    18. A note, Dubuque in Iowa was officially founded 1833, but Julien Dubuque founded a mining town in 1788 which then became Dubuque.

      My grandmother lives in Port Royal, now called Annapolis Royal. I remember the 400th anniversary. It is a very cool place to visit, right on the Bay of Fundy with the highest tidal range in the world.

      BC is incorrect. Established in 1794 as a trading post, Fort St. John is the oldest European-established settlement in present-day British Columbia. Not fort st James.

    21. Canadian regions? So you don’t know Canada has Provinces and Territories. At least you knew they weren’t states.

    22. Novel_Seat1361 on

      I didn’t even know I lived in one and mean of course I know the history there is relics buildings but didn’t know it was that old 

    23. Even_Commission9526 on

      Ontario isn’t accurate. Sault Ste Marie, MI was a thing then, but nothing was built on the Canadian side until much later. Sainte Marie among the Hurons (Midland) is actually the oldest European settlement in Ontario. 

    24. Fort verm and chipewyan are quite not populated today, interesting that there not as much people up here

    25. While York Factory is undoubtedly of considerable historical importance, I don’t think it’s correct. The HBC closed it down in 1957 and relocated all of the remaining residents. It’s been owned by the Canadian government since 1968; operated by Parks Canada, there are no permanent or year-round residents.

      I’m not sure what should replace it, but it looks like Winnipeg is a contender, and depending on interpretation might switch it to French.

      Quebec Citys old city is absolutely beautiful for anyone who hasn’t been.
