The Viceroyalty of New Spain lasted from 1535 to 1821, and was one of two early viceroyalties established in the 16th century, the other being the Viceroyalty of Peru. In the 18th century the Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada, and the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata were also created. The territories that the Viceroyalty of New Spain ruled included present-dayCalifornia (Las Californias), Nueva Extremadura (present day Coahuila andTexas), Southwestern United States(Santa Fe de Nuevo México),Mexico, Central America (exceptPanama), Florida (La Florida) and the Caribbean.
