Juan Ponce de León embarked on his exploration of Florida in 1513. He is best known for his search for the Fountain of Youth, a legendary spring said to restore youth. His expedition marked the first known European contact with the area, leading to Spain's later colonization efforts in the region. Ponce de León made a second voyage to Florida in 1521 but was ultimately met with resistance from indigenous peoples and was injured in battle.
