The first explorers to travel by land from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States were Lewis and Clark. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson in 1804, they embarked on their expedition to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and find a route to the Pacific Ocean. Their journey, which lasted until 1806, provided valuable information about the geography, biodiversity, and indigenous peoples of the region.
