Juan Cabrillo is credited with the European discovery of the California coastline during his exploration in 1542. He primarily explored the area around present-day San Diego and ventured north to what is now the central coast of California, including areas around Santa Barbara and possibly as far as Monterey Bay. Cabrillo's expedition marked the first recorded European contact with the West Coast of the United States.
