It has been suggested that Juan Ponce de Leon landed near Melbourne Beach in 1513, where he then became the first European to set foot in Florida.

However, this suggestion has not been met with wide acceptance from historians who state that de Leon's landing place cannot be known inside a leeway of less than a hundred miles or so.
