The seal of the city belongs in the table. Look at New York and Los Angeles. Let me know why you feel differently or I will just change it back. Queson 17:09, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
Saint Augustine, Florida is the oldest continually-inhabited city in the continental United States, but Pensacola, Florida is the oldest settlement in the continental United States by roughly six years. Should the reference to Saint Augustine be reworded, or should Pensacola be recognized and referenced? Warpflyght 09:44, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

Question
When was San Juan officially designated the capital of Puerto Rico? jengod 19:54, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

San Juan is not the oldest city in the United States.
I removed the reference to San Juan being the oldest city in the United States for a couple of reasons. 1. San Juan is not the oldest city even if it is considered part of the United States, several cities in Hawaii have been continually inhabtied long before San Juan was founded - that is also why St. Augustine is specfically called (in the Wiki article as well) the oldest European city in the United States. So San Juan is definently not the oldest city in the US or its territories. 2. Also Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States and is described as such in the Wiki article Puerto Rico but is not actually part of the US, i.e the 50 states and the District of Columbia. - I changed the sentence to "San Juan was founded ..... and is the oldest city on Puerto Rico. --Nikostar 16:18, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
San Juan IS the oldest European City in the United States
Firstly, Hawaii was discovered by Captain Cook in 1778, yes, there were indigenous groups established on Hawaii before that, but as for cities founded on Hawaii, only those after 1778 count. Secondly, St. Augustine is the oldest Europeon city in the continental United States. San Juan is the oldest City under the United States umbrella, which includes States and territories. Thirdly, Puerto Rico is a Semi-Autonomous state or Territory of the United States and would be considered a PART of the United States.

- Puerto Rico is not consider part of the united states. It is a territory wich belongs but is not part of the United States.Nnfolz 05:14, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Puerto Rico has a metropolitan area of about 2 million,not 1.3 million
Its the cities of San Juan,Bayamón, Carolina, Guaynabo, Cataño, Toa Baja,Caguas,Trujillo Alto,Toa Alta and Canovanas.
1.3 million is the population of the Urban Area of the Metropolitan Area
- Canóvanas, Toa Baja, Toa Alta and Caguas are not part of the Metropolitan Area. Joelito (talk) 16:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- According to Guía Metro - Area Metropolitana (Puerto Rico) ISBN 0977195228 the Metropolitan Area is composed of San Juan, Bayamón, Carolina, Cataño, Guaynabo, Toa Baja, Trujillo Alto. Joelito (talk) 16:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- I think your partly mistaken joelito. if i'm nt mistaken, Caguas is now considered part of the metropolitan area.Nnfolz 20:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
In the World some cities located 50+ miles from the Metro Area are considered part of the metropolitan area.
Theres also a Metro Area and an Urban Area(in the metropolitan areas)
The Metro Area would be the municipalities I said before and the Urban Area San Juan, Bayamón, Carolina, Cataño, Guaynabo, Toa Baja, Trujillo Alto.
BTW - I think by World standards all of Puerto Rico could be considered a Metropolitan Area since it is so little and with that amount of people.
