Question: In which Florida city do some historians believe America’s first Thanksgiving was held?
Answer: St. Augustine
Some historians believe that the first Thanksgiving-style feast took place in St. Augustine on September 8, 1565, 56 years before the Pilgrims celebrated their Thanksgiving in Massachusetts in 1621. Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and 800 Spanish settlers founded the city and threw a Mass of Thanksgiving upon their arrival and then invited the local Seloy tribe to a feast.
