The explorers were from France, from the French settlements around the Great Lakes in Canada (Quebec).
The most prominent were Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet, who in 1673 travelled down the Mississippi as far as Arkansas. The Spanish had been exploring the southern part of the river since Hernando De Soto crossed it in 1541.
It was in 1682 that French explorer LaSalle ( René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle) claimed the Mississippi Valley, La Louisiane, for France.
