Don Pedro Menendez founded and named the colonial settlement St. Augustine on September 8th 1565. On this day Menendez, 800 Spanish settlers and the city's first pastor Father Fransisco Lopez celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving and a meal in which they invited the native Seloy tribe, who were locals to the area. It is thought that the Spanish contributed pork, beans, biscuits and red wine and the Seloy tribe contributed turkey, venison, gopher tortoise, fish corn, beans and squash. Yes, this was the very first Thanksgiving 56 years before the Pilgrims at Plymouth Plantation. This event is commemorated today by a 250 foot cross which stands at the site. St. Augustine was to serve two purposes, it was to be a military outpost for the defense of Florida, and also to be used as a base for Catholic missionary settlements throughout the southeast.
