Abstract
Beginning with the 1513 discovery of Florida, Spanish explorers and colonists embarked on a lengthy process to incorporate the American Southeast into the expanding Spanish colonial empire. Despite multiple false starts over the course of the next half-century, it was ultimately the colony of San Agustín de la Florida, established in 1565 by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, that set the stage for the successful integration of southeastern North America into Spain’s global colonial system.
