While it's true the United States declared independence before Mexico did, the first permanent settlement on the North American continent was St. Augustine, founded in 1565. The first English settlement was Jamestown, founded 42 years later, in 1607.
Technically speaking, the Mexicans' ancestors had a city going here a generation before the Americans' ancestors did.
