florida mapAlthough largely inhabited by the Seminole Indians of Florida at the time, it was Ponce de León's quest for the mythical Fountain of Youth in 1513 that led to the European discovery of Florida.

For the next three centuries Spain, England and France fought for control of the territory, until 1819 when it was finally sold by Spain to the United States. In turn, the U.S. fought the original Seminole Indian tribe for control until the mid-1800's.

Today, Florida is best known as a vacation paradise offering visitors fun-in-the-sun at famous Florida beaches dotting miles of shoreline - at Daytona, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, the Florida Keys - and dozens off other top hot spots while also making it a magnet for college students on spring break.

However, it is the central & family-friendly Florida that remains its most popular destination - as millions each year flock to Orlando to visit nearby Disney World and Epcot Center along with an additional big draw at the Kennedy Space Center.
