Christopher Columbus did. he was actually trying to find a new trade route to Asia, but along the way he stopped at land, and called it, Newfoundland. he thought that the world was a lot smaller than it really is, so he thought if he sailed around, it would quickly lead him to Asia. What he didn't know is, he landed on The land beneath The US. He was never actually known to step foot on what we now know the United States of America.
