Who was the first to find America?
Leif Eriksson!

1000 A.D.
10th Century — The Vikings: The Vikings' early expeditions to North America are well documented and accepted as historical fact by most scholars. Around the year 1000 A.D., the Viking explorer Leif Erikson, son of Erik the Red, sailed to a place he called "Vinland," in what is now the Canadian province of Newfoundland.
Chis and John Cabot found out about America in the 1490’s.

I hope that helps!!^^
