Juan Ponce de Leon is said to have been the first European to have settled Florida in 1513. True or False?
False. Juan Ponce de León was indeed the first European to explore Florida, arriving in 1513, but he did not establish a permanent settlement there. The first successful European settlement in Florida was founded later, in 1565, by the Spanish in St. Augustine.
