The USA is a government, not a land mass, and was created in 1776, not discovered.
If you mean who first landed here, opinions differ.
You could say the Asians did when they crossed the Bering Straits and migrated southward, becoming the Native Americans that Europeans found here when they first arrived.
The strongest theory is that Leif Ericsson, the VIking, landed in Newfoundland, an island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, long before any other white person did.
Christopher Columbus discovered some islands in the Carribean, not North America, which is where the USA is located.
Finally, the Spaniards De Soto and Pizarro wandered around the what is now Florida after the Mexican conquest, in the 1530s.

To be precise, the USA was not discovered it was developed by appointed delegates from the 13 original colonies. The USA was the constructed social and political solution designed, developed, and delivered by the delegates from the period of 1787-89.
The USA was created upon ratification of US constitution by the governing bodies of each of the colonies.

If memory serves it was Amerigo Vespucci(not positive on spelling of sir name) who discovered the Americas, what is now Canada, US and Mexico. But, that is not what you need for your essay. Like was stated The United States became it's own country after the war of Independence(broke away from England) You been staying awake during class ?

The United States of America are named for an Italian explorer, but not the one you'd think. it was actually named for Amerigo Vespucci, though nobody knows if he beat Christopher Colombus, who came in 1492 and is usually credited with discovering America.

Christopher Columbus on October 12th, 1492. Some believe it was Welsh Prince Madoc (Madog) in 1170 who landed in what is now called Alabama.
