Francisco Vázquez de Coronado was a Spanish explorer who led an expedition in the mid-16th century across parts of present-day southwestern United States, including Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. His journey significantly expanded European knowledge of the North American interior and its diverse indigenous cultures. Although Coronado did not find the riches he sought, his exploration paved the way for future Spanish colonization and settlement in the region, influencing the cultural and historical landscape of the American Southwest. His encounters with Native American tribes also had lasting implications for their societies.
