Vaqueros, the skilled horsemen and cattle herders of Spanish and Mexican heritage, played a crucial role in shaping the culture and practices of ranching in the American West. They contributed techniques in cattle handling, rodeo skills, and distinctive clothing styles, such as the cowboy hat and boots. Their legacy is evident in the traditions and folklore of Western cowboy culture, influencing modern ranching and rodeo practices. Additionally, vaqueros represent the blending of cultures that has shaped the history and identity of the Southwestern United States.

They were called Vaqueros.
The Spanish cowboys in California were called vaqueros.
It wasn't really the "Mexicans" who influenced the "Americans" but the Spanish who brought the cowboy to the American continents The American cowboys borrowed language, clothing and food, that the Mexican vaqueros used, and one of the things that they did not borrow was their politics.
The "cowboy" did not yet exist during the period of the western expansion. They came into existence later after the Chicago meatpacking industry was set up to supply New York and other east coast cities restaurants with beef by refrigerated railcars and went out of existence when the railroads expanded their lines to reach the various western cattle ranches. The cowboys were responsible for the cattle drives; from branding newborn calves on the open range so they could be identified later and rounded up later, to rounding up the widely dispersed cattle on the open range and identifying the ones owned by their employer by the brand, to driving the cattle from the open range to the nearest railhead for shipment east to the slaughterhouses and meatpacking companies, to selling the cattle for the best price possible, to helping load the cattle into cattle cars on the train. The cowboys skills and clothing were largely derived the Mexican vaqueros employed by the large Mexican rancheros and quite a few of the early cowboys in the US were spanish speaking vaqueros hired from Mexico.
