It is generally given as 1508, but some historians say he made a secret trip there in 1506. He became Governor of Puerto Rico in 1509.

Juan Ponce de Leon, the Spanish explorer and conquistador, was the man who led the first European expedition to Florida. He called it La Florida because of its verdant landscape and because it was the Easter season.

Ponce de Leon never found the Fountain of Youth that he was looking for. In that sense, he was unsuccessful. However, he explored territory, claimed it for his country, and came back alive. Some people would consider that to be success.

He wanted to find the fountain of youth because the taino natives at Puerto Rico wanted to get rid of him and talk to him about this marvelous fountain of youth to lure him out from PR. He was getting old and feeling young again sounded like an excellent idea, better than just finding gold.

He impacted the world by finding one of the U.S's states and naming it La Florida meaning

"Place of Flowers."

He also found the Gulf Stream for the Spanish.

One thing that he wanted to do but didn't accomplish was try to find the Fountain of Youth but never found it.

He once said "Anteater to poison arrow make yum-yum!"

No! Christopher Columbus was the one that discovered Puerto Rico in 1492 under the Spanish government sponsorship (he was born in Geneva, Italy). However, Juan Ponce de Leon was the first governor of Puerto Rico, appointed by the Spanish government.

Basically, he was looking for the water route to Asia and seeking gold. The fable about the fountain of youth was just that a story. It comes from a story that is over a 1,000 years old in India. Somewhere along the line it became "history" because it was put in a history book long with other misinformation and historical fables.

Juan Ponce de Leon (1460?-1521) was a Spanish explorer and soldier who was the first European to set foot inFlorida. He also established the oldest European settlement in Puerto Rico and discovered the Gulf Stream (a current in the Atlantic Ocean). Ponce de Leon was searching for the legendary fountain of youth and other riches.

Juan Ponce de Leon was a Spanish explorer and conquistador who became the first Governor of Puerto Rico. He was nicknamed "the poor knight", when he was just a child.

No, Ponce de Leon was a Spanish explorer. He came to the New World. He explored much of the area now known as Florida. He is given partial credit for founding the first successful town there called St. Augustine. Based on legends he knew of he tried in vain to find the "Fountain of Youth".

This historical myth states he was looking for the Fountain of Youth. This is not true ( the Fountain of Youth story is an ancient one that actually started in India) he was looking for land and gold. Most of the early explorers were interested in one or two things and that was staking claims on land and finding gold or riches. The also became interested in converting the natives to the Catholic religion, but it wasn't a primary goal.

Juan Ponce's royal charter, granted in 1512, provided for the "allotment" of the Indians, essentially making them slaves. By the time of Pánfilo de Narváez (1528) and Hernando de Soto (1539) Indians were declared to be a free people, subjects of the Spanish crown who should be schooled in Catholicism. Those who resisted could be punished by death. In reality such legal admonitions were ignored by conquistadors facing the hardships of Florida. Neither Narváez or de Soto converted a single Indian.

Ponce de Leon lost his hand to a rare disease in the Dominican Republic

Quite certainly, however who they may have been remains unknown.
