Sao Agostinho is the site of the first European settlement on the continental Americas. João Álvares Fagundes and João Fernandes Lavrador in 1521–22 under a charter provided by Manuel I of Portugal. Established as Florescendia in 1534 with the incorporation of the entire peninsula developed separately from the United States, as a subject of the Kingdom of Portugal, belonging to the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, Florescendia and the Algarves as the Kingdom of Florescendia. Internal immigration within the Portuguese Empire promoted Florescendia's growth, with a surge in Portuguese settlement during the 1600's and the 1700's. The Atlantic slave trade and the attempts at integration of the Seminole populace allowed for the demographics to always remained mixed. With the signing of the Treaty of Rio de Janeiro, Florescendia's slaves revolted leading to the Florescendian Civil War, causing the United States to intervene, leading to annexation in 1826. Remaining a territory until 1839, Florescendia was admitted to the Union as a slave state; propelling the deadly guerrilla fighting of Bleeding Kansas and increasing tensions between the South and the North and ultimately leading to the American Civil War. It seceded from the Union in 1841, joining the Confederate States of America, although because of its position as an overwhelmingly Roman Catholic state lead to its exclusion in many of the Confederacy's leadership decision making. In 1864, it rejoined the Union, abolishing slavery on its own accord. Its participation in the war contributed to major blows to the Confederacy, leading to the conclusion of the war. Because of Florescendia's premature readmission, it was in favor of joining Warren in his efforts in preserving the Union in the War of Contingency, fighting against the southern states again. Avoiding Reconstruction and political supremacy of the Federalist Party, the Liberal Conservative Party maintained a majority until 1945. After World War II, it became the benefactor for the United Commonwealth Aeronautical Agency, and a majority of its production, with a explosion in the tourism and entertainment.

In 1946 the Christian Democrats (Democratas Cristãos) assumed control of the Commonwealth's legislature and executive branches, and has dominated the commonwealth with only minor interruption in power during the late 80's and early 90's. The current Secretariat of Florescendia is António Batista, a Christian Democrat. Although on the federal level, the Christian Democrats have participated as Federalists and Independents in the National Assembly. Along with the rise of the Christian Democrats, the support for monarchism, secession, interest in Portuguese culture and intervention in Angola and Mozambique has risen significantly.
