Juan RodrÃguez Cabrillo (born 1499, died January 3, 1543) was a navigator and explorer, known for exploring the West Coast of North America on behalf of the Spanish Empire. Cabrillo was the first European explorer to navigate the coast of present-day California in the United States. Cabrillo's nationality - Portuguese or Spanish - has been debated for centuries.
