The conquistadors, primarily Spanish explorers and soldiers, played a significant role in Texas history during the 16th and 17th centuries. They sought to claim territory for Spain, establish missions, and convert Indigenous populations to Christianity. Notable figures, such as Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, explored the region, documenting their encounters and experiences. Their expeditions laid the groundwork for Spanish colonization and influenced the cultural and social dynamics of Texas.
