Louisiana's first explorers primarily came from France. In the early 18th century, French explorers such as René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville ventured into the region, seeking new territories and trade opportunities. Their expeditions laid the groundwork for French colonization in Louisiana, which eventually became a significant part of the French colonial empire in North America.

The famous explorers, Lewis and Clark, did not in fact buy the Louisiana Territory. Rather, it was the American government, led by President Thomas Jefferson, that purchased Louisiana from the European nation of France in 1803.
Some of the early Spanish explorers in Louisiana were Alonso Alvarez de Pineda, who mapped the Gulf Coast in 1519, and Hernando de Soto, who explored the Mississippi River in the 1540s. Another significant explorer was Cabeza de Vaca, who was shipwrecked near present-day Galveston, Texas, and later explored inland areas, including parts of Louisiana.
