Yes and no. Columbus was the first European explorer to reach the Americas, exploring the islands of the West Indies, and Central and South America. The Vikings had apparently visited islands in Canada as early as 985 AD, and Ponce de Leon named Florida in 1513. Other Spaniards may have reached geographical North America even earlier.
