The first European to arrive in what is now Namibia was the Portuguese explorer Diego Cão, who reached the region in 1485 during his voyages along the west coast of Africa. He is known for mapping parts of the coastline and establishing contact with local indigenous groups. Cão's explorations marked the beginning of European interest in the area, although significant colonization did not occur until much later.
