The sixteenth century is a major span in the historical geography of North America. European discovery begain on its northeastern shores by cod fishers before Columbus sailed to the discovery of the Indies. John Cabot landed on the northern mainland in 1497 to claim possession for England, a year before Columbus saw the mainland of South America. In the course of the century the Atlantic coast was largely discovered, from the Gulf of Mexico north into Baffin Bay, the Pacific coast as far as northern California.
