Juan Ponce de león
Many believe that Juan Ponce de León of Spain was the first European to reach the mainland of North America in 1513.
Juan Ponce de León landed in America on April 2, 1513. He is often credited with being the first European to set foot on the mainland of what is now the United States, specifically in Florida. His expedition was motivated by the search for gold and the legendary Fountain of Youth.
"In 1513, Ponce De Leon, the conqueror and governor of Puerto Rico, embarked on a search for a fabled fountain of youth. He never found it, but he did make the first Spanish landing on the mainland of North America. Perhaps because the land was in bloom with spring flowers, he called the land he discovered Florida."He was the one who discovered Florida. I hope I am talking about the same Ponce de Leon you are talking about. :)
