- About Missouri
-
The first Europeans to explore modern-day Missouri were the French. (At first the area that now includes Missouri was known as Illinois Country, then after 1770 it was known as Spanish Illinois or Upper Louisiana. The name Missouri wasn't adopted until 1812.) In 1673, Louis Jollet and Father Jacques Marquette set out to explore the area that now encompasses Missouri. Marquette was a French-born Jesuit missionary and Jolliet an explorer and mapmaker from Canada. They started out from Green Bay and traveled down the Fox River until they arrived at an Indian village at the headwaters of the Wisconsin River. There they traveled down the Wisconsin until finding a footpath that led them to an Illinois Indian village where they would spent the night. Leaving there, they traveled 300 miles down the river where they passed the mouths of the Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio Rivers arriving at the mouth of the Arkansas River. Here they met with local tribes and learned that the river led to the Gulf of Mexico instead of California, like they had hoped. They were also warned that if they continued down the Arkansas they would encounter hostile Indians and Spaniards. They turned back and learned of the shortcut back to Lake Michigan via the Illinois River. This expedition brought awareness of the frontier and the first detailed information of the Missouri and Illinois areas.
