Bruh i just got a question deleted for swearing and stuff like that but like i didn't even swear i just answered a question. The people who delete stuff like that need to take a better look at the questions i didn't even swear. this is what i said: Juan Ponce de León was a Spanish explorer. In 1508–09 he explored and settled Puerto Rico, founding the colony's oldest settlement, Caparra, near what is now San Juan. He is also credited with being the first European to reach Florida (1513).
