Question: Where 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, held a Mass of Thanksgiving, and then invited members of the local Seloy tribe to a feast.
