If we make a historic reference, let's have in mind that the Spaniards were the first to explore this territory in 1542, when Hernando de Soto led an expedition throughout the Mississippi River. It was until the mid-1600s that French King Lous XIV ordered more explorations in the Louisiana territory to stop the expansionist's ideas of England and the Spanish crown. It was French explorer Reneé Robert Cavellier, who reach the mouth of the Mississippi River in 1682 and claimed possession of that land for the benefit of the French crown.
