500 years after Christopher Columbus is incorrect. Leif Ericsson was thought to have discovered North America by way of Greenland -> Iceland -> Labrador -> Newfoundland around the year 1000 B.C. (Before Common Time [Also known as Before Christ]) His expedition and those after him were the first to colonize North America. Although they did not stay due to the deterioration of peaceful commerce with the natives.
