If by using the term "south" we include what is now the US State of Florida, then the answer would be Spain.

Spain established the city of St. Augustine on the west coast of Florida. The name of the city remains the same. It was founded in 1565.

Most historians give the Spaniard Pedro Menendez de Aviles credit for founding the colony.
