The first Spaniard known to have set foot in what is today the United States was Juan Ponce de León. He arrived in 1513, landing on the east coast of Florida during his quest for the Fountain of Youth. Ponce de León's exploration marked the beginning of Spanish interest in the territories that would become part of the U.S.
