Question: WHAT Is the population of the Florida county that is named after a famous Spanish conquistador?
Context: Juan Ponce de León (] ; 1474 – July 1521) was a Spanish explorer and "conquistador".  He became the first Governor of Puerto Rico by appointment of the Spanish crown.  He led the first known European expedition to "La Florida", which he named during his first voyage to the area in 1513.  Though in popular culture, he was supposedly searching for the Fountain of Youth, there is no contemporary evidence to support the story, which is likely a myth. Leon County is a county located in the U.S. state of Florida.  As of 2016 Census estimates, the population was 287,822.  The county seat is Tallahassee, which also serves as the state capital.  The county is named after the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León. Pedro Gutiérrez de Valdivia or Valdiva (April 17, 1497 – December 25, 1553) was a Spanish conquistador and the first royal governor of Chile.  After serving with the Spanish army in Italy and Flanders, he was sent to South America in 1534, where he served as lieutenant under Francisco Pizarro in Peru, acting as his second in command.  In 1540 he led an expedition of 150 Spaniards into Chile, where he defeated a large force of Indians and founded Santiago in 1541.  He extended Spanish rule south to the Bío-Bío River in 1546, fought again in Peru (1546 – 48), and returned to Chile as governor in 1549.  He began to conquer Chile south of the Bío-Bío and founded Concepción in 1550.  He was captured and killed in a campaign against the Araucanian Indians.  The city of Valdivia in Chile is named after him. The Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape is a protected landscape area of forested limestone hills, grasslands and natural springs in the island province of Bohol in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines.  It is the largest remaining tract of natural forest in Bohol and one of the Philippines' top birdwatching sites.  The park was initially gazetted a national park in 1987 covering approximately 9023 ha .  In 2000, it was reestablished as a protected landscape under the National Integrated Protected Areas System covering its present area of 10452.6 ha .  The park is one of the island's major tourist attractions located just south of the famous Chocolate Hills.  It was named after the Bohol chieftain who entered into a blood-compact with Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi on the island in 1565. The OS Museum, also known as the OS Ranch Museum, is a hybrid collection of mainly sculpture and paintings of Texas, the American West, and Asia located in the small city of Post, the seat of Garza County in West Texas.  It is owned by Giles Connell McCrary, the founder of the OS Ranch Foundation, whose grandfather was an early proprietor of the nearby ranch for which the museum is named.  However, the museum exhibits are largely unrelated to the OS Ranch itself.  The Spanish conquistador Francisco Coronado passed through this part of Garza County in the 16th century. The Battle of Tucapel (also known as the Disaster of Tucapel ) is the name given to a battle fought between Spanish conquistador forces led by Pedro de Valdivia and Mapuche (Araucanian) Indians under Lautaro that took place at Tucapel, Chile on December 25, 1553.  This battle happened in the context of the first stage of the Arauco War, named the "offensive war" within a larger uprising by Araucanians against the Spanish conquest of Chile.  It was a defeat for the Spaniards, resulting in the capture and eventual death of Valdivia. Nicolás Cabrera (1913–1989), was a Spanish physicist who did important work on the theories of crystal growth (specifically the Burton-Cabrera-Frank theory) and the oxidisation of metals.  He was the son of another famous Spanish physicist Blas Cabrera and the father of American Physicist Blas Cabrera.  He spent many years in exile during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco.  He was Professor of the Department of physics in the University of Virginia, where he worked from 1952.  He became known for his interests in engineering and material science.  He founded the physics department and was Professor at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), from 1971.  He is considered to have given an impulse to the study of physics in Spain from the time of his return.  For a time Javier Solana, whom he met at the University of Virginia, was his assistant in Madrid.  Solana has described him as being a brilliant man but badly organised.  The Nicolás Cabrera Institute, founded in 1989 in the UAM, is named after him. In Spanish football, the Guruceta trophy is awarded by Spanish sports newspaper MARCA to the best referee for each season.  It is named in honour of the famous Spanish referee, Emilio Guruceta. Legend says that the barrio was named after a beautiful, lovely daughter of one of its early settlers of the place.  She was so loved and revered by the locals that they named her "Santa Fe", and in her death, they named the place after her.  However, in "Relacion de las Yslas Filipinas" by Spanish conquistador Miguel de Loarca, it states that the barrio was named after Santa Fe in the province of Granada in Spain.  Its first settlers were Onhan-speaking Negritos from Panay Island who emigrated to Tablas as early as 1730. Cape Canaveral, from the Spanish "Cabo Cañaveral", is a cape in Brevard County, Florida, United States, near the center of the state's Atlantic coast.  Known as Cape Kennedy from 1963 to 1973, it lies east of Merritt Island, separated from it by the Banana River.  It was discovered by the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León in 1513.
