The First Thanksgiving is usually taught to young students as a celebration between the Pilgrims and Indians. That Thanksgiving dinner did, in fact, take place; however, it wasn't the first Thanksgiving in America by a longshot. Even in our own area, Jamestown resident had a Thanksgiving of sorts at least ten years before the Pilgrims. Remember that Jamestown was established in 1607. The first Thanksgiving in North America was probably in 1534, near St. Augustine, Florida. The oldest city in America is often excluded in history textbooks because it was a Spanish city.
