The descent of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo (also known under his Portuguese name Joгo Rodrigues Cabrilho) is not entirely clear. Most believe that he was born in Portugal, but lived most of his life in the Spanish New World colonies. Others believe that he was born Spanish. He had already joined a few voyages of discovery (he had come to Mexico with Narvaez, shifted alliance to Cortes, helped the founding of the city of Oaxaca, and joined Alvarado in his mesoamerican conquests), and had become wealthy through goldmining in Guatemala, when in 1542 Antonio de Mendoza, the viceroy of New Spain (Mexico), asked him to explore the northern limits of New Spain's westcoast.

Juan Rodrнguez Cabrillo led the first European expedition to explore what is now the west coast of the United States. Cabrillo departed from the port of Navidad, Mexico, on June 27, 1542. Three months later he arrived at "a very good enclosed port." That port is known today as San Diego bay. Historians believe he anchored his flagship, the San Salvador, on Point Loma's east shore near Cabrillo National Monument.
