The European nation that settled the southwestern region of what is now the United States was Spain. Spanish explorers and settlers established missions, presidios, and ranches throughout the Southwest, particularly in areas that are now part of California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. Their influence is still evident today in the region's culture, architecture, and place names.
