Who established the first European settlement north of Florida, and when?
French explorers in 1604
Spanish explorers in 1513
English colonists in 1607
Dutch settlers in 1624
The correct answer is: French explorers in 1604
French explorers in 1604 were the first to establish a European settlement north of Florida. It was not Spanish explorers because they arrived in Florida in 1513, which is south of the location mentioned in the question. The English colonists first arrived in 1607, which is three years after the French settlement was established. The Dutch did not establish their settlement until 1624, which is also after the French settlement was already established.
