Hernando de Soto is believed to have explored the region that includes present-day DeSoto Parish in Louisiana during his expedition from 1539 to 1542. However, there is no specific date tied to his discovery of the area, as his journey involved traversing various territories inhabited by Native American tribes. DeSoto's expedition was significant for its contributions to European knowledge of the southeastern United States, but the exact details of his travels in DeSoto Parish remain unclear. The parish itself was later established in 1843 and named in his honor.
