Henry Hudson and His Crew Sailed into the River that Would Bear His Name. September 3, 1609. Hudson was not the first European explorer to discover this river. The Florentine navigator Giovanni da Verrazano discovered the Hudson in 1524. But Henry Hudson traveled the river much farther than its previous explorer. After 150 miles, the Half Moon did not reach the Pacific, but it did reach what would later become Albany, New York. There, they turned around. But as a result of Hudson's exploration, the river bears his name today.
Legacy Washington. Territorial Timeline. On Sunday, June 29, 1788, Captain John Meares sighted an inlet that he named the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Meares was most likely the first European explorer to reach the Strait since Juan de Fuca's claim to have been there in 1592 was never documented. After exploring the strait, Meares determined that it wasnât the Northwest Passage which would link the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
