The first European
explorers to visit Louisiana came in 1528. The Spanish
expedition (led by Panfilo de Narváez) located the mouth of
the Mississippi River. In 1541, Hernando de Soto's expedition
crossed the region. Then Spanish interest in Louisiana lay
dormant. In the late 17th century, French expeditions, which
included sovereign, religious and commercial aims, established
a foothold on the Mississippi River and Gulf Coast. With its
first settlements, France lay claim to a vast region of North
America, and set out to establish a commercial empire and
French nation stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada.
The French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle named the
region Louisiana to honor France's King Louis XIV in 1682. The
first permanent settlement, Fort Maurepas (at what is now
Ocean Springs, Mississippi, near Biloxi), was founded by
Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, a French military officer from
Canada, in 1699.
The French colony of Louisiana originally claimed all the land
on both sides of the Mississippi River and north to French
territory in Canada. The following States were part of
Louisiana: Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota.
