Named for Juan Ponce de Leon: America 250 FL
Memorial Blue Star HwyTallahassee FL 32303
Juan Ponce de León (c. 1474–1521), for whom Leon County, Florida, is named, was a Spanish explorer and adventurer. In April 1513, he made the first documented European landing on Florida’s Atlantic coast, between present‑day St. Augustine and Melbourne Beach, and claimed the lush territory, naming it “La Florida," while he was, as legend tells it, in search of the Fountain of Youth. Following the discovery, he served as Puerto Rico’s first governor, charted the Gulf Stream, and sparked Spain’s colonial expansion in North America. His 1521 return attempt ended when he was fatally wounded, sealing his legacy as Florida’s earliest European explorer. Located at I-10, EB MM194, Rest Area.

Tucked along the trails of Cascades Park sits a window into Florida`s earliest days of statehood: the First Florida Capitol (replica).
Before the iconic Historic Capitol and modern tower shaped our skyline, Florida’s territorial government met in a log cabin built right here in 1824. This detailed replica offers visitors a quiet, shaded step back in time in the middle of our downtown park.
Take a stroll down Cascades Park and explore where Florida`s legislative history began.
