Limiting this to incorporated cities makes it a rather modern, and in my opinion less interesting, list.

If Mobile gets credit for 1702, then Biloxi should get credit for 1699.

crazy that some of the western states have only had (white) inhabitants for about 150 years.

This is premier colonialism on display!

Natives have been living in these places for thousands of years!

I'm literally shaking right now!

Friend,

There was a French settlement in New Orleans at Bayou St. John in 1708. Although it did not flourish, there were still settlers there when the city was officially established in the French Quarter in 1718.

Yours,

For those who don’t know:

Twin sons were born to an old Caddo Indian chief living on the banks of the Sabine River. Natchitoches was swarthy with black hair and flashing black eyes. Nacogdoches was fair with yellow hair and blue eyes.

As their father neared the end of his days, he called his sons into his presence to receive his final blessings.

He commanded that, upon his death, Natchitoches should gather his wife and children, turn his face to the rising sun, and after traveling three days he should build his home and rear a tribe.

Nacogdoches was instructed to face the setting sun, walk three days with his family, and establish a new home where he, too, would rear his children and his children’s children.

Thus, the twin tribes of Nacogdoches and Natchitoches were born 100 miles apart--one in what would become Texas and one in the place we know today as Louisiana.

The list is continuously inhabited cities not first white inhabitants. Fort Laramie in Wyoming was a trading post in the 1830s, and there were trappers in the area well before that.

It's amazing to me that none of the Indians built a city, Choctaw, Sioux, Creeks, Dakota, Seminoles... none.
Yet pretty much every other civilizations on the planet did.

Wise you're right, everyone is down with survival of the fittest, except when it comes to humans.

For lacking iron and bronze, some of the Mississippian Culture settlements are impressive.
