The Mississippi River valley
The Mississippi River valley was claimed for France in 1682 by La Salle (René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, 1643-1687). He left Canada in 1681 and reached the Gulf of Mexico in April, 1682.
Robert La Salle, if u want to remember who explored it, you can use this tip: Salle (Robert's last name) sounds like sally (in a way) so u can say, Sally went to the Valley, and you'll remember it :)
