Juan Ponce de León was a Spanish explorer and conquistador best known for his expedition to Florida in 1513, which he is often credited with discovering. He was also the first governor of Puerto Rico, where he established Spanish settlements and sought gold. Ponce de León is famously associated with the legend of the Fountain of Youth, although there is no historical evidence that he specifically sought it during his explorations. His expeditions contributed to the Spanish colonization of the Americas.
