In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson buys the Louisiana Purchase from France for $15 million. It remains one of the greatest acquisitions in American history. In 1804, Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore and map the Louisiana Purchase. The men camped just south of here in June 1804, along a bend in what is now the Missouri River. In 1821, Missouri became the second state to be carved out of the Louisiana Purchase. Clay County, named for Sen. Henry Clay of Virginia, was established in 1822. Sen. Clay introduced the Missouri Compromise, which allowed Missouri to join the Union as a slave state.
