Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo's mission was to explore the western coast of North America for Spain. Commissioned by the Spanish crown, he sought to find a passage to the Pacific Ocean and establish Spanish claims to the territory. In 1542, he led an expedition that resulted in the European discovery of California, mapping parts of its coastline and interacting with Indigenous peoples. His journey contributed to Spain’s understanding of the geography and resources of the region.
