Fort San Juan was a 16th–century fort built by the Spanish under the command of conquistador Juan Pardo in the native village of Joara, in what is now Burke County, North Carolina. Used as an outpost for Pardo's expedition into the interior of what was known to the Spaniards as "la Florida", Fort San Juan served as one of six forts throughout modern–day North and South Carolina and Tennessee that were established to extend Spain's effective control further in the North American continent. In 1568, natives from Joara and the region surrounding the fort razed the Spanish settlement.

  • Fort San Juan was a 16th–century fort built by the Spanish under the command of conquistador Juan Pardo in the native village of Joara, in what is now Burke County, North Carolina. Used as an outpost for Pardo's expedition into the interior of what was known to the Spaniards as "la Florida", Fort San Juan served as one of six forts throughout modern–day North and South Carolina and Tennessee that were established to extend Spain's effective control further in the North American continent. In 1568, natives from Joara and the region surrounding the fort razed the Spanish settlement. The fort is now recognized has having been the earliest European settlement in the interior of what is now the United States of America. After the fort's destruction, its exact location was lost. During the summer of 2013, archaeologists affiliated with the University of Michigan, Tulane University and Warren Wilson College announced that they had discovered the location of a defensive moat believed to belong to Fort San Juan.
