The first Europeans to explore the Great Lakes region were likely French explorers in the early 17th century, including Samuel de Champlain, who mapped parts of the area in 1615. Following him, Jesuit missionaries and fur traders, such as Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet, further explored and documented the Great Lakes in the 1670s. Their expeditions paved the way for subsequent European settlement and trade in the region.
