French Polynesia was first discovered by Europeans in the 18th century. The British explorer Captain James Cook is often credited with its exploration during his voyages in the 1760s. He made significant contributions to the mapping and understanding of the islands, including Tahiti. However, the islands were inhabited by Polynesians long before European contact.
