The coastline of Florida's panhandle was explored by Spanish explorers in the early 16th century. One notable explorer was Ponce de León, who is believed to have landed near present-day Pensacola in 1513 during his search for the Fountain of Youth. Another explorer, Hernando de Soto, explored the region in the 1530s, seeking riches and establishing temporary settlements. These explorations marked the beginning of European presence in the area and laid the foundation for further colonization and development along Florida's Gulf Coast.

Who was the first person to map the Texas coastline?

Most modern maps of the Australian coastline were conducted by the world geodetic survey of 1984. These were not conducted by one person, but were the compiled efforts of a multinational organization. However, William Dampier (explored in the 1600s) deserves credit for first charting areas of the Western Australian coastline, while Captain James Cook initially charted the eastern coast in 1770, with remarkable accuracy for his time. George Bass, together with Matthew Flinders explored and charted much of the coastline south of Sydney in the early days of the New South Wales colony. Bass also proved for once and for all that van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) was an island. Between December 1801 and June 1803, Flinders circumnavigated the continent, charting the entire coastline of Australia.
