In May 1539, conquistador Hernando de Soto went around the coast of Florida and found a deep harbor where he could land. He said he saw one mile of red mangrove spreading to the height of the roots intertwined with one mile and a height of 21 feet (70 feet), making it difficult to land. The Spaniards introduced Florida to Christianity, cows, horses, sheep, and Castilian. Spain established several villages in Florida with varying degrees of success.

For the first time the landing to the mainland of the United States was confirmed along the coastal coast that was densely covered by the Spanish Juan Poncede Leon called Florida in 1513. Within 30 years of landing to Ponce de Leon, the Spaniards became the first Europeans to reach the Appalachian Mountains, the Mississippi River, Grand Canyon, Great Plains. The Spanish ship navigates along the east coast and crosses today's Bangor, Main and Pacific coasts, and operates to Oregon.
