Christopher Columbus [Cristoforo Colombo] was given the credit as the first European to have reached America in 1492. Ironically, it was Amerigo Vespucci, another explorer, for whom the New World was named.

More recently, historians and archeologists have come across evidence that suggested the Scandinavians to be the true first Europeans to have come here. There are relics and foklores that pointed to Norse settlements in New Foundland, Canada as far back as the 10th and/or 11th century, several hundres years ahead of Columbus.

Ignoring the indigenous population of American Indians who, of course, "discovered" America some time before Europeans "discovered" it - then probably the Scandinavian, Leif Ericsson.
