Francisco Vázquez de Coronado began his exploration in Texas in 1540, starting from the Spanish settlement of Compostela in present-day Mexico. He traveled northward through the region, exploring areas that are now part of Texas, including the Texas Panhandle. His expedition ultimately ended in 1542 when he returned to Mexico, having failed to find the legendary Seven Cities of Gold.
