Who was the first to settle Texas? The spanish? The french? The british? The native americans?
The native peoples were the earliest settlers in the region now known as Texas. Various Native American tribes, such as the Karankawa, Caddo, and Comanche, inhabited the area for thousands of years before European colonization. However, in terms of European settlement, the Spanish were the first to establish permanent settlements in Texas.
It wasn't correct..
I apologize for the incorrect information. The first European settlement in Texas was actually established by the Spanish. In 1682, the Spanish explorers Alonso de León and Domingo Terán de los Ríos founded the first Spanish mission and presidio (fort) in East Texas. Over the following centuries, the Spanish continued to establish settlements and missions throughout the region. The French did have a brief presence in Texas with the establishment of Fort Saint Louis in 1685, but it was short-lived as the fort was later destroyed by the Spanish. The British did not have significant settlements in Texas during this period.
The first European settlers in what is now Texas were Spanish explorers and colonizers. They established the first permanent European settlement in Texas in 1682. However, it is important to note that Texas was already home to numerous Native American tribes for thousands of years before European arrival.
