Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
WELL!.!.!.!.!. it is a theory that Native Americans originally came across the Bering Strait when it was frozen during the Ice Age!. That is the area of water between Alaska and Russia!. Some scientist think that either the water was frozen allowing animals and humans to cross, or that the water level was so low due to water being frozen!. So they technically "discovered" North America first!.

But for the first Europeans to discover North America, the Vikings would be the answer!. They colonized Greenland in 980's, and it is said they had smaller colonies in the north Atlantic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Amerigo Vespucci!. However, he didnt realise that he had come across an undiscovered land!. So, the credit went to Christopher Columbus!. America is named after Amerigo Vespucci!.
