Actually, Christopher Columbus (Cristobal Colon) never set foot in North America. He made it to the Caribbean and the coast of South America. He first reached the island of San Salvador in October 1492. But he never made it to America.
Many historians believe that Norse explorer Leif Erikson was the first European to reach North America, arriving around the year 1000 AD, well before Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492. Erikson is credited with establishing a settlement called Vinland, likely located in present-day Newfoundland, Canada. His exploration predates Columbus by nearly 500 years, highlighting the early presence of Europeans in the New World.
Before Christopher Columbus, Norse explorer Leif Erikson is often credited as the first European to reach North America around the year 1000 AD, landing in an area he called Vinland, believed to be part of modern-day Newfoundland, Canada. Additionally, indigenous peoples had been living in the Americas for thousands of years prior to any European contact. Thus, while Columbus is commonly recognized for his 1492 voyage that connected Europe and the Americas, he was not the first to discover the continent.
