Ponce de Leon

Ponce de Leon is best known in Florida for Ponce de Leon Springs State Park, a Panhandle recreation area centered on a clear freshwater spring. The spring belongs to the Holmes Creek watershed, placing the town in the creek-lined woodlands of northwestern Florida rather than the state’s coastal resort belt. Ponce de Leon takes its name from the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, reflecting a historical association found in place names across the state. US Highway 90 runs through the community, while the nearby park provides a place to swim and walk beneath hardwood and pine cover.
