Ponce de León is most remembered for his exploration of Florida and his quest for the fabled Fountain of Youth, which was believed to grant eternal youth. He was one of the first European explorers to arrive in Florida in 1513, claiming the land for Spain. His expeditions contributed to European knowledge of the southeastern United States and laid the groundwork for further exploration and colonization in the region.
