Missouri Quick Facts
Missouri - Gateway to the West
Missouri was once part of the Louisiana Territory claimed by France. Fought over by France and Spain, Napoleon Bonaparte secured it for his country in 1800. In a surprise move, he sold it to the United States in 1803 is what is known as the Louisiana Purchase. It almost doubled the size of the new country. From that area, several territories were carved, including Missouri.
In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson gave an historical mission to William Clark and Meriwether Lewis - to find the Northwest Passage across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. The Lewis and Clark Expedition left St. Louis, Missouri in May 1804. They spent two and half years trekking westward. They were the first U.S. citizens to see the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains and reach the Pacific Ocean.
Today, St. Louis is known as the Gateway City. The Gateway Arch memorializes the city's role in the Westward Expansion.
The state has been the birthplace of many famous individuals, including President Harry S. Truman, baseball player Yogi Berra, author Maya Angelou, author Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), newsman Walter Cronkite, outlaw Jesse James and innovator Walt Disney.
