In the 1500s, Spanish explorers ventured into various regions of North America, including parts of present-day Florida, where Ponce de León famously searched for the Fountain of Youth. They also explored the southwestern territories, including Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, with notable figures like Coronado leading expeditions in search of the fabled Seven Cities of Gold. Additionally, the Spanish claimed areas in California and established missions along the Pacific coast. Their explorations significantly impacted the indigenous populations and laid the groundwork for future Spanish colonization.
