-------------------------------
St. George's (formally, the Town of St. George, or St. George's Town) was the first settlement on the island of Bermuda, and is today the oldest continuously inhabited English-speaking settlement in the Western Hemisphere. It is now in large part a museum town.
St. George's was first settled in 1612, three years after the first English settlers in Bermuda, who had been on their way to Virginia, landed on Bermuda after a shipwreck. They were led by Admiral Sir George Somers. The survivors built two new ships, and most then continued their voyage to Jamestown, but the Virginia Company laid claim to the island; it then sent a party of 60 new settlers to Bermuda to join the three men left behind by the Sea Venture, who, after a brief period on neighbouring St. David's, commenced construction of St. George's, located in a sheltered sound that kept ships protected from bad weather.
