Question: Which city held the first St. Patrick’s Day parade?

Answer: St. Augustine, Florida, in 1601. It was believed that New York City held the earliest parade – in 1762 – until history professor J. Michael Francis discovered some centuries-old Spanish documents that told of St. Augustine’s parade. Ireland held its first parade in Waterford in 1903.
