ADT Monitored Home Security Systems in Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine, FL, has history. The oldest continually occupied European settlement in the continental United States, Saint Augustine has been around for nearly 500 years, its name commemorating the feast day of Saint Augustine (August 28), when the ships of Florida's first governor, Pedro Menendez de Aviles, first spotted land. While many parts of Florida attract tourists who flock to beaches, Saint Augustine's long history means visits from colonial history buffs as well.

That's not to say the beaches aren't a thing, because they are. A whole 42 miles of them, to be more or less exact. But beyond their natural beauty and the pull of sun, sea, and sand, even Saint Augustine's beaches are a big part of history—what is now known as Frank B. Butler County Park figured prominently in the civil rights movement.

The town itself has changed hands a number of times in its nearly half of a millennium in existence, settled by the Spanish, taken over by the British, back to the Spanish, and eventually part of the good old US of A. When you go out to the beaches or to the Colonial Quarter, you won't have to worry about protecting your own personal "fort," however, with ADT monitored security, available now for your Saint Augustine home.
