Ponce de Leon, Florida.
Added 2025-10-15 22:17:33 +0000 UTCDoes anyone know how the locals pronounce this? I have heard a few different variations now when trying to find it online and I am very confused. Thank you. Casey.
UPDATE:
Excellent. Thank you everyone. Patreon for the win again.
UPDATE TWO:
It seems like there are two ways it's said, both coming from people who grew up in/are from Florida. This is what I recorded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UclKbLjl6TU This version had the most 'votes' so to speak. Thank you to everyone who commented.

Casey, if you ask Cuban Floridians, they will say “Pon-say, with a hard O, because it’s the correct pronunciation in Spanish. But it’s been Americanized to “Pahnse”
