Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon and his crew landed on the shores of St. Augustine, searching for the elusive 'Fountain of Youth' in 1565. Founded and named by European settlers, it's the oldest permanent settlement in the United States. Because of it's sunshine, bountiful and rich flora, the state was named Florida, Spanish for "Feast of Flowers." In 1845 it became the 27th State in the Union.
The original human inhabitants of Florida are the Seminole Native American Tribes.

∙ 11y agoThe Native Indians where the first people to discover Florida. After that the Pilgrims came and lived there to. There where three Seminole wars against many different countries and people from a different country were forcing the Indians off their land or they would agree of something like the Indians would get a very small part of their land and the other country would get the other enormous part. That is what started the three Seminole wars. Finally the Indians moved away to different parts of Florida like South, East, North or West.
