Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, was a French explorer known for his significant contributions to the exploration of North America in the late 17th century. He is best known for his expedition down the Mississippi River, which he claimed for France in 1682, naming the region Louisiana in honor of King Louis XIV. La Salle's explorations helped to establish French claims in the Mississippi River Valley and contributed to the European understanding of the geography of North America.
