The French primarily settled in areas of Texas such as San Antonio and Nacogdoches. They established missions and trading posts, with notable sites including the Presidio La Bahía and Fort Saint Louis near Matagorda Bay. The French influence was significant in the early history of Texas, particularly during the 17th and 18th centuries, although their settlements were eventually overshadowed by Spanish and later Anglo-American colonization.
