Jamestown is often mentioned during discussions about the oldest settlement in the US mostly because it is an old town that was settled all the way back in 1607; while this is quite old, it still doesn’t make the town the oldest US settlement; that title belongs to Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico which has been in existence since 1150 AD, and is, therefore, the oldest inhabited community in the history of North America.

In recent times, the town is officially known as the Sky City and it is home to thousands of Indian Tribe tribal members, with federal recognition for the tribe.
