The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park is a privately owned 15-acre (61,000 m2) park in St. Augustine, Florida, located along Hospital Creek, part of the Intracoastal Waterway. It is touted as being the original landing site in Florida in 1513, of Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon, however recent historical research has placed the probable landing site in the vicinity of Cape Canaveral in Brevard County.[1][2]. It was Ponce de Leon who made the claim for North America to be under control of the Spanish, not Columbus. Ponce de Leon came with Columbus to Puerto Rico on Columbus' second voyage.
