Ponte Vedra's history begins 400 years ago when settlers first landed in St Augustine. But, it wasn't until the National Lead Company, a minerals mining company, discovered titanium, zircon and rutile in the beach sands in the area. Originally known as Mineral City, the area was first developed as a resort community after World War I. The present name appears to be in honor of Pontevedra, Spain. The actual reason for the name choice is unknown, but there is a rumor that one of the developers read a newspaper acticle that claimed that Christopher Columbus was born there.
