José de Gálvez, the future Minister of the Indies, had established the province of Alta California, to which he had dispatched five separate expeditions in 1769, just as the Krenitsyn-Levashev expedition was concluding.

Spanish exploration voyages to the far north have been launched from there in 1774 and 1775; a third is launched in 1779.
