European explorers and settlers in Arizona primarily included Spanish conquistadors and missionaries in the 16th and 17th centuries, such as Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, who sought gold and claimed territory for Spain. In the 18th century, Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries established missions to convert Native Americans to Christianity. The Spanish influence persisted until the Mexican-American War in 1848, after which Arizona became part of the United States. Subsequently, American settlers moved into the region during the 19th century, driven by the Gold Rush and opportunities for land and resources.
