Between 1660 and 1760, numerous French expeditions explored the Mississippi valley, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. They founded many settlements in the territory, and claimed an enormous slice of North America (far more than they had actually settled), which they named Louisiana in honor of Louis XIV.
After the French gave up possession of Louisiana to the Spanish, they reacquired the territory secretly in 1800 in the Third Treaty of San Ildefonso.
