Who was the first person to explore Massachusetts?

Answer 1

The first documented exploration of Massachusetts was conducted by John Cabot. In 1497 and 1498, Cabot sailed through Massachusetts's waters in search of a route to Asia. Before Cabot's exploration, a legend tells of Leif Ericson and other Norse explorers reaching the area in the year 1000, but there is no documented proof to support such tales. After Cabot's voyage, other explorers passed through in search of a passage to the east. In 1602, Bartholomew Gosnold explored the Massachusetts coastline and named Cape Cod after the plethora of fish that schooled there. In 1614, John Smith traveled through the area and wrote A Description of New England, in which he mused over the beautiful coastline. Smith's work, augmented by William Wood's New England Prospect, helped stir colonization interests in England.
