Hernando de Soto visited the Missouri area in 1541. France's claim to the entire region was based on
Sieur de la Salle's travels in 1682. French fur traders established Ste. Genevieve in 1735, and St. Louis
was first settled in 1764.

The U.S. gained Missouri from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, and the territory was
admitted as a state following the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Throughout the pre–Civil War period
and during the war, Missourians were sharply divided in their opinions about slavery and in their
allegiances, supplying both Union and Confederate forces with troops. However, the state itself
remained in the Union.

Historically, Missouri played a leading role as a gateway to the West, St. Joseph being the eastern
starting point of the Pony Express, while the much-traveled Santa Fe and Oregon trails began in
Independence.

Missouri's economy is highly diversified. Service industries provide more income and jobs than any other
segment, and include a growing tourism and travel sector. Wholesale and retail trade, manufacturing,
and agriculture also play significant roles in the state's economy.

Missouri is a leading producer of transportation equipment (including automobile manufacturing and
auto parts), beer and beverages, and defense and aerospace technology. Food processing is the
state's fastest-growing industry.

Missouri mines produce 90% of the nation's principal (non-recycled) lead supply. Other natural
resources include iron ore, zinc, barite, limestone, and timber.

The state's top agricultural products include grain, sorghum, hay, corn, soybeans, and rice. Missouri
also ranks high among the states in cattle and calves, hogs, and turkeys and broilers. A vibrant wine
industry also contributes to the economy.

Tourism draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to a number of Missouri points of interest: the country-
music shows of Branson; Bass Pro Shops national headquarters (Springfield); the Gateway Arch at the
Jefferson National Expansion (St. Louis); Mark Twain's boyhood home (Hannibal); the Harry S. Truman
home and library (Independence); the scenic beauty of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways; and the
Pony Express and Jesse James museums (St. Joseph). The state's different lake regions also attract
fishermen and sun-seekers from throughout the Midwest. Information from http://www.infoplease.com
