Probably Albany, New York. The region was first explored by the Dutch in 1609-1610, and eventually, in 1664, it became a British colony. When Thomas Dongan was governor of the colony, he granted a charter, in the name of the King, to the city of Albany on July 22, 1686. According to local historians, this charter still governs the city, making it the oldest charter still in force in the United States.
