The first conquistador in Florida was Juan Ponce de León, who arrived in 1513. He is famously associated with the search for the Fountain of Youth, a legendary spring said to restore youth. Ponce de León claimed Florida for Spain and explored its eastern coast, marking the beginning of European exploration in the region. His expeditions laid the groundwork for future Spanish colonization in North America.
