Do you think that a beachside area in Brevard County should be named in Ponce de Leon's honor?

ponce de leon's landing was recorded as occurring at 30º.8', which would be between st. augustine and ponte vedra beach in st. johns county.

the original inhabitants, the ais tribe, should have this exact same area named after them... it is about time...

since only one of the reasons to respond "no" will take, i think there are multiple reasons to vote no to this question. the motives and actions of ponce de leon were not as altruistic as we might like to see, but i think renaming the area is really a kind of chamber of commerce approach to florida history.

i lived in melbourne for many years and still have property there. we've got enough named after ponce de leon. how about naming it after someone who has done a lot for the area over the years - past or present?

there is no way he landed in melbourne beach. what a dreadful precedent this would set! misrepresenting history so that 300 years from now people will actually accept this as fact. the third bridge and frank thomas need to consider what they are doing.
