We should qualify the statement as "oldest American-established town west of the Rockies." There were indigenous people here in the West much earlier, with Oraibi, Arizona, claiming continuous settlement beginning in 1150. San Diego claims a founding by the Spanish in 1769, with continuous settlement up until current era. Even San Francisco was established in 1776, with Los Angeles established in 1781.
I love Grants calming voice
