According to legendery history, Ponce de Leon was searching for a fountain that would restore youth and vitality. When he found what we now know as the legendary Fountain of Youth, he discovered Florida. In actuality, although long before Ponce de Leon, others had searched for such fountains, the story that Ponce de Leon was on such a mission was not attached to him until after his death. Other historical records show that no one really knows whether Ponce de Leon ever even looked in Florida for waters that would cure his aging. For over the last 100 years, thousands of guests have sipped the world famous waters at The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine, Florida.
