Indigenous Guale Indians first greeted Jesuit missionaries to the Georgia coast in 1566, but their missionary effort there was spectacularly unsuccessful. Franciscans arrived a decade later and worked with Guale leaders to establish Mission Santa Catalina as Spain’s northern outpost along the eastern seaboard. The mission was overrun and destroyed in 1680 by raiders from South Carolina.
