In 1682, the French claimed the largest part of present-day U.S. territory, primarily through the exploration and claims made by Robert La Salle. He claimed the Mississippi River and its basin for France, naming the region Louisiana in honor of King Louis XIV. This claim encompassed a vast area, stretching from the Great Lakes down to the Gulf of Mexico, covering parts of multiple modern states.
