Juan Ponce De Leon's impact was he found Florida and named it after all the flowers he saw. He was in search for The Fountain Of Youth. He went on to try to find it again but landed on the West coast of Florida and Indians shot at him and his crew. Ponce got hit by an arrow and later died from his wounds.
In 1513, Juan Ponce DE Leon came to the Sunshine State in search of the mythical fountain of youth, and named it Florida. Sometimes it seems that everyone in America over the age of sixty is searching for that fountain too.Tallahassee is the state capital, although Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida.

I did a project on Ponce De Leon once in 5th grade- and still remember the answers. These are some of the things I learned that he did in his life:Juan Ponce De Leon journeyed from Euorpe to the "New World" or North America. He landed in Florida, but of course it had no name. Spain had sponsored his trip there, if you need know that. Anyways, he was looking for the Fountain of Youth, a "magical" fountain legend to make the elderly young again. But he died before he could find the mythical Fountain. However, he named the state we now know as Florida after flowers that were beautiful in his eyes. I have no idea what the flowers were named, but I'm sure it was Florida-somthing.
The fountain of youth was not in Florida. It was supposedly on an island called Bimini, but of course, the fountain of youth does not exist.
