King Louis XIV and his administration were generally positive concerning the territory claimed for France in 1682 (areas along the Gulf of Mexico in present-day Louisiana and Texas) by the explorer, Sieur de La Salle, although the French presence there was not supported and soon dissolved. It was not until the explorations of the Sieur d'Iberville some twenty years later that a strongly supported and successful French colony would become established on the Gulf Coast.
