Who was the first preson to explore what would be the US?
Juan Ponce de León was the first European when he landed in Florida searching for the Fountain of Youth and subsequently he explored much of the southern United States. The first humans were ancient ancestors of the Native Americans who migrated likely from Asia and subsequently settled in the area that became the United States. Christopher Columbus never reached what became the United States.
Why did Columbus name the island san salvador?
Columbus renamed five islands on his first voyage to America: San Salvador; Santa Maria de la Concepcion, Fernandina, Isabela, and Las Islas de Arena. San Salvador was named after the king of Spain as were Fenandina and Isabela also named after other royal monarchs of Spain. He did this to honor the family who sponsored his voyage in hopes that this would help butter them up to sponsoring more trips to the New World as was the purpose of his entire 1493 letter. Santa Maria de la Concepcion was named after the Virgin Mary. He did this to honor and acknowledge God and Christendom as was custom of people of this time because the church was a powerful political entity at this time. Las Islas de Arena means Sandy Island and was probably named that because it was, as you could guess, very sandy.
