Flagler College is located in picturesque St. Augustine, a famous historic tourist center in northeast Florida, between Jacksonville to the north and Daytona Beach to the south.

Credited as being the oldest continuous settlement of European origin in the United States, St. Augustine was founded by Spanish explorer Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles in September 1565.

Spanish rule continued until 1763 when the British acquired Florida. The city reverted to Spanish control from 1784 until Florida became an American territory in 1821. After Florida achieved statehood in 1845, the city was briefly a part of the Confederacy during the American Civil War.

As the county seat of St. Johns County, the 434-year-old city still remains small with a permanent population of approximately 15,000. Horse-drawn carriages add to St. Augustine's charm and heritage in a downtown setting that has retained its original Spanish town plan with quaint narrow streets and numerous restored and re-constructed houses and buildings reflecting its centuries-old past.
