Spanish and French explorers and missionaries were among the first to establish missions in the Americas in the early 16th century. Notable figures include Spanish missionaries like Junípero Serra in California and French missionaries like Jacques Marquette in the Midwest. These early missions played a critical role in the spread of Christianity and European colonization in the Americas.
