Juan Ponce de León was a Spanish explorer and conquistador, best known for his expedition to Florida in search of the Fountain of Youth. Born in 1460 in Spain, he served under Christopher Columbus before embarking on his own explorations. In 1513, he became the first European to set foot in Florida, claiming it for Spain. His explorations significantly contributed to the European knowledge of the southeastern United States.
