Probably off the coast of New England, although Native Americans had been hunting whales for centuries before that.

Amerigo Vespucci will be remembered as the man America was named after.  In 1501 sailing under a Portuguese flag, he sailed his ships along the South American coastline to within 400 miles of the southern tip, Tierra del Fuego.  Vespucci wrote two letters to a friend in Europe. He described his travels and was the first to identify the New World of North and South America as separate from Asia. (Until he died, Columbus thought he had reached Asia.)

It came from Captain George Vancouver of the British navy who surveyed the area in the early 1790's. He had earlier been a midshipman on board HMS Endeavour when Captain James Cook sailed up the West Coast of Canada.

When Columbus discovered America, or, according to some, when Leif Erickson discovered America.\n\nOr, to go further back, when the Native Americans immigrated across the land bridge that used to exist where the Bering Strait is now.\n\nBefore that, everyone in the world immigrated from the African continent.\n\nMurphysmom, the Mayflower landed in 1620.  Columbus landed in 1492.

Actually, I can watch whales (mostly California gray whales) from my office window (near Avila Beach, California). Right now the Pacific is flat but I do not see any spouts. The mothers have pretty much moved north with their children by now. The males already are gone. \n\nI saw a mother snout up and then breech. That was two weeks ago. Awesome sight!\n\nLast fall a friend of mine and his wife were out of Santa Barbara in a 20ft cabin cruiser. A gray came up and snouted over the front of their boat. Crushed the trim. Then it came back and the tail actually flipped up and hit the guy in the chest. Broke some ribs and tore him up with barnacles. I would have said the couple were just high or something but no arguing with the boat damage and his injuries.\n\nTake a whale watching cruise if you can. It is something life-changing.

Correct ... there were already lots of people in North America when Columbus got here, including the Inuit who probably crossed the Bering Sea from Asia on the ice bridge thousands of years before Columbus.

Pre-Colombian era\n\nSouth America is thought to have been first inhabited by people crossing the Bering Land Bridge, now the Bering strait, though there are also suggestions of migration across the southern Pacific Ocean. Over the course of millennia, people spread to all parts of the continent. By the first millennium CE, South America’s vast rainforests, mountains, plains and coasts were the home of tens of millions of people. Some groups formed permanent settlements. Among those groups were the Chibchas (or "Muiscas" or "Muyscas") and the Tairona. The Chibchas of Colombia, the Quechuas of Peru and the Aymaras of Bolivia were the 3 most important sedentary Indian groups in South America.\n[edit]\nChibchas\nThe Chibcha linguistic communities were the most numerous, the most territorially extended and the most socio-economically developed of the Pre-Hispanic Colombians. By the 3rd century, the Chibchas had established their civilization in the northern Andes. At one point, the Chibchas occupied part of what is now Panama, and the high plains of the Eastern Sierra of Colombia. The areas that they occupied were the Departments of Santander (North and South), Boyacá and Cundinamarca, which were also the areas where the first farms and first industries were developed, and where the independence movement originated. They are currently the richest areas in Colombia. They represented the most populous zone between the Mexican and Inca empires. Next to the Quechua of Peru and the Aymara in Bolivia, the Chibchas of the eastern and north-eastern Highlands of Colombia were the most striking of the sedentary indigenous peoples in South America. In the Oriental Andes, the Chibchas were composed of several tribes, who spoke the same language (Chibchan). Among them: Muiscas, Guanes, Laches and Chitareros.

In 1527 the Panfilo de Narvaez expedition left Spain with 5 ships, 600 men and Cabeza de Vaca as the King's Agent. They were to establish a colony in North America. 300 men and 40 horses landed in South Florida in 1528 then wandered northwest fighting Indians, malaria and dysentery. To escape that hostile country they built boats and coasted west along the Gulf of Mexico toward Mexico, Spain's nearest outpost on the continent.

There are many answers to this question, there are several countries in the America's.  However most of the time when you say America you mean the United States and again there are lots of different answers.  We fired the Shot heard around the world in April, 1775.  We Declared our Independence in July, 1776.  Our Revolution was won in 1781, our current government started in 1789.  However throughout the America's there had been great Civilizations Built and around for many years before the White man came to America.  Columbus Came in 1492, the Vikings came about 400 years before and the Phonecians very probably visited the America's about 3,000 years ago.  The earliest City founded still around is St. Augustine, Florida settled by the Spainish.  The earliest English settlement was Jamestown, Virginia settled in 1607.  The Pilgrims came in 1620 and so forth.  There are many different answers to your question as you asked it, I hope that one of these is what you needed.

North America includes (from North to South) Canada, the US, Mexico, and the countries of Central America (which is not its own continent, nor is it part of South America).\n\nSo, Panama is technically the southernmost country in North America.
