To determine which of the settlements were Spanish colonial settlements, we can look at the historical context.
Santa Fe was founded in 1610 as the capital of the Spanish province of Santa Fe de Nuevo México, which is now part of the state of New Mexico in the United States. This established Spanish presence in what is now the southwestern United States.
St. Augustine, on the other hand, was founded in 1565 by Spanish conquistadors and is considered the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement within the borders of the continental United States.
New England, Manhattan Island, and Canada were not Spanish colonial settlements. New England was predominantly settled by English colonists, Manhattan Island became a Dutch colony before eventually becoming an English settlement, and Canada was primarily colonized by the French and British.
