American Indians were the first explorers and settlers of Georgia and Florida. Those living along the coast became among the first to encounter Europeans when, on Easter Sunday, 1513, Juan Ponce de Leon landed north of what would become St. Augustine. He claimed the region in the name of Spain and called it Pacua de la Florida in honor the Easter season's "feast of flowers." |
