For Spain, the marooned conquistador Alvar Cabeza De Vacaexplored the Gulf of Mexico and Texas beginning in 1528. The exploration of the US Southwest came under the expedition of Francisco Coronado from 1540 to 1542.

In eastern Texas, the Gulf Coast was later explored by the French explorer Robert de La Salle in an ill-fated 1684 expedition down the Misissippi River (the explorer was killed by mutineers on this voyage).

The first exploration by Europeans was by accident. The Spanish conquistador Alvar Cabeza de Vaca explored Texas and eventually reached Mexico after the disastrous Narvaez expedition to Florida in 1528.

Later exploration was in 1540 by Francisco Coronado and in 1684 by Robert de La Salle of France. It was not until 1822 that Americans under Stephen Austin settled in what was then the northern territory of Mexico.
