=== 1600s === In 1601, [[New Spain]] tasked [[Sebastián Vizcaíno]] with mapping the [[The Californias|California]] coastline in detail and locating safe harbors in [[Alta California]] for [[Manila-Acapulco Galleon|Manila Galleons]] to use on their return voyage to [[Acapulco]] from [[Manila]]. In 1602, members of Vizcaíno's expedition explored as far north as [[Coos Bay]], however like previous expeditions, they missed the [[Golden Gate]]. In 1603, this expedition landed in [[Monterey Bay]], about 50 miles southeast of Millbrae, leading to the first documented interaction between the Ohlone people and European explorers.<ref name=":10">Milliken, R., Shoup, L. H., Ortiz, B. (2009). Ohlone/Costanoan Indians of the San Francisco Peninsula and Their Neighbors, Yesterday and Today. United States: Archaeological and Historical Consultants.</ref> Little came of this expedition, and for the next 150 years, [[Alta California]] remained a distant [[frontier]] land, largely outside of the kingdom's control, despite its claims. Anthropological evidence and [[oral tradition]] indicate the [[Ohlone#Present day|Ohlone]] people were living in the [[San Francisco Bay Area|Bay Area]] throughout this time.<ref name=":7" /><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" />
