Talk:Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

GALICIAN

It's not true that Ponte vedra means old bridge in Galician. Ponte means bridge but vedra is not a word in galician. Pontevedra derives from the latin Pontus Veteri which was an old Roman bridge.

Perhaps then it would be more accurate to say that vedro/vedra was a word in Galician-Portuguese. It is still found in the Portuguese Dictionary, where it is defined as velho "old" (ant.). The Romance form would of course derive via Vulgar Latin from the Latin vetus, veteris. --Ziusudra 15:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

There's a theory that says Columbus was Pedro Madruga, a Galician medieval figure from Pontevedra. Bibliography: Cota, Rodrigo; Colón, Pontevedra, Caminha. Pontevedra, 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.219.34.17 (talk) 19:25, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

PONTE VEDRA

There is a new town called just Ponte Vedra. This should be added instead of being redirected to Ponte Vedra Beach. The zip code is 32081 instead of 32082. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.177.58.10 (talk) 18:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC).

Erik the Red?!

Erik the Red never set foot in Ponte Vedra! So I took the liberty of removing his name from the list of Ponte Vedrans!!

Fred Rogers

The article Fred Rogers doesn't say anything about him being a resident of Ponte Vedra. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 01:56, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
