Add article description

This is a list of present-day cities by the time period over which they have been continuously inhabited as a city. The age claims listed are generally disputed.

Notes

  1. It is salient to the discussion of continuous habitation that Cortés's initial founding of Veracruz was symbolic, rather than because he was actually establishing a permanent settlement. Founding a town allowed Cortés and his men to portray the land as not part of the Caribbean, thereby removing them from under the authority of the governor of Cuba, Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar. Velázquez had revoked permission for the expedition before Cortés departed Cuba.[45]

    Valencia Valera, Víctor Hugo (2022). "Zona Arqueológica Teopanzolco" (in Spanish). Teopanzolco es una zona arqueológica del Valle de Morelos, cuyas evidencias más tempranas de ocupación se remontan al Posclásico Medio. Las excavaciones arqueológicas confirman que hubo por lo menos tres etapas constructivas de este asentamiento; en cada una de ellas se destruían parcialmente los edificios antiguos y sobre sus restos, se levantaban nuevos, a veces con una distribución distinta. Bajo el piso de la gran plaza se encuentran sepultados restos de los desplantes de los viejos muros y al interior de los basamentos, hay evidencias de la presencia de otros, más antiguos. Los primeros pobladores de Teopanzolco posiblemente eran los Tlahuicas, como lo mencionan las fuentes escritas del siglo XVI. A la llegada de los mexicas que conquistaron esta región y lo incluyeran a su imperio, Teopanzolco estaba en apogeo de su desarrollo. Los renovados templos, basamentos, casas y palacio, tuvieron que impresionar a los mexicas, sobre todo el imponente basamento de los templos de Tlaloc y Huitzilopochtli. En su interior estaban ocultos todavía dos templos más antiguos, que vieron luz hasta los años 1921 y 2018, respectivamente. Desafortunadamente el crecimiento de la moderna ciudad de Cuernavaca, borro muchas evidencias sobre la extensión original de este asentamiento y de la magnitud de sus construcciones durante el apogeo de su desarrollo. En los predios colindantes con la zona arqueológica se han detectado huellas de muros y materiales arqueológicos que nos amplían información sobre la historia de este lugar en época prehispánica. Ubicación cronológica principal: Posclásico Medio y Tardío, 1200 a 1521 d.C.

    Harootunian, N.V. (1959). "К датировке основания города Еревана" [On the date of the foundation of Yerevan]. Historical-Philological Journal (in Russian) (2–3): 94–96. Archived from the original on 19 August 2014. [С]тановится вполне ясным, что время основания этого города падает на 782 год до нашей эры. ... [А]рхеологический материал, происходивший из раскопок Эребуни-Еревана, с достаточной достоверностью показывает, что этот город продолжал свое существование не только в последний период урартского владычества ... но и после него, т.е. в VI-V вв. до нашей еры. О дальнейшей судьбе Еревана, вплоть до начала VII века нашей эры, история, к сожалению, умалчивает. После потери своего первенствующего значения еще в эпоху Урарту, он, по всей вероятности, свыше десяти веков продолжал оставаться одним из многочисленных рядовых поселков («аван»-ов) исторической Армении. С начала же VII века нашей эры Ереван снова начинает приобретать удельный вес и фигурирует снова в «Книге посланий» а затем — в «Истоии» Себеоса. В дальнейшем название Еревана все чаще и чаще упоминается в средневековых армянских источниках ... [ [I]t becomes quite clear that the founding of this city falls on 782 BC. ... [A]rcheological material originating from the excavations at Erebuni-Yerevan shows with sufficient credibility that this city continued to exist not only in the final period of Urartian rule ... but also after it, i.e. in the 6th–5th centuries BC. Regarding the subsequent fate of Erevan, history is unfortunately silent until the beginning of the 7th century AD. After losing its foremost significance all the way back in the era of Urartu, it most likely continued to be one of the many rank-and-file villages ('avans') of historical Armenia. Then, from the beginning of the 7th century AD Erevan once again begins to acquire particular weight and appears for the first time in the Book of Messages, then in Sebeos's History. Thereafter the name of Erevan is mentioned with increasing frequency in medieval Armenian sources ...]

Bibcode:2016QuInt.395..208D. doi:10.1016/j.quaint.2015.08.056. Erebuni fortress, located on the hill of Arin Berd (Yerevan) is one of the three main Urartian fortresses erected in the Ararat plain ... Built during the reign of king Argishti I in 782 BC, it marks the extension of the kingdom of Urartu to the north since the reign of Menua and the control of the Ararat plain during the reign of king Argishti.
