Answer:
The conclusion that can be drawn from analyzing the earliest placenames in Florida is that the Spanish were the first European colonizers in the area.
The Spanish arrived in Florida almost a century before Jamestown was founded. Juan Ponce de León was the first colonizer.
Decades after, the first settlement in American territory was founded: Saint Augustine in 1565.
Florida remained in Spanish hands until 1763, when Spain gave it away to Britain.
