Spanish settlers
New World pioneers
Spanish settlers refers to people from Spain who established residence in colonized territories, particularly in the Americas, Philippines, and other regions during the era of Spanish exploration and colonization from the 15th through 19th centuries.
The phrase typically appears in historical contexts discussing the founding of missions, the encomienda system, or conflicts with indigenous populations: Spanish settlers introduced cattle ranching to the region.
