In 1519, Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda is credited with the first European mapping of the coastline of Texas, as well as parts of Mexico. His exploration aimed to find a route to the Pacific Ocean and to document the regions he encountered. Pineda's maps provided valuable information about the geography of the Gulf Coast, contributing to the understanding of the area for future explorers. Additionally, he was one of the first Europeans to encounter various Indigenous groups in the region.
