When did the European Explorers first arrive in America?
This is a disputed answer. Some say the first European explorers to reach America were the Vikings, with Leif Erickson being the first of them. However, the settlement he founded in about the year 1000 AD in what the vikings called Vinland, and was probably on the coast of modern Newfoundland, Canada, lasted only a short time and the Vikings did not follow-up with further exploration and settlement. Erikson's exploration and settlement had little effect on Europe and none that we know of on America. The European exploration and settlement of America that had a lasting effect on both Europe and America was that which followed the exploratory journey of Christopher Columbus (called ChristoffaCorombo in his native Genoa and Cristóbal Colón in Spain) in the year 1492, some 500 years after Leif Erikson.

A viking from Norway who founded the first European settlement in Greenland?
It is most commonly believed that the vikings led by Leif Erickson's father were the first to establish a settlement there but, history also tells us that the Vikings failed to maintain the community during the little ice age because they didn't learn to adapt the way the Inuits did. Kind of leads me to believe that the Inuits were there first.
