The former name of the state of Missouri was "Upper Louisiana." It was part of the larger territory acquired in the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803. The region was later organized as the Missouri Territory in 1812 before achieving statehood in 1821.

Other states that were once part of the Louisiana Territory are Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado.

The Louisiana Territory usually refers to the vast area purchased from France in 1803. It consisted of all the land drained by the Mississippi- Missouri River complex. Some would say that The Territory of Louisiana was created by the US after the Louisiana Purchase in 1805 and was renamed the Missouri Territory in 1812.
It was the 23rd US State and was created by the Missouri Compromise. It was an occupied territory during the American Revolution and the War of 1812.

No. We lost territory.
Missouri had had three state capitals. In 1812, when the Missouri Territory was established, St. Charles was chosen as the capital, and remained the capital until 1821. In 1821, the capital was moved to Lohman's Landing. Later, Lohman's Landing was changed to Jefferson City, which is the current capital of Missouri.
No, Missouri was never a colony. It became part of the United States after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, when the U.S. acquired a vast territory from France. Missouri was admitted to the Union as the 24th state on August 10, 1821, following its status as a territory from 1812. Prior to U.S. ownership, it was inhabited by various Native American tribes and was explored by European settlers, but it was not established as a colony like others in North America.
The Missouri Compromise affected the area in the former Louisiana Territory, except within the boundaries of the state of Missouri. It was a compromise that prohibited slavery within the territory.
California today but from 1812 until part of it became a state in 1821 Missouri as a territory was larger than California was then or probably ever became including all of the upper or new California territory of 1847 & all of baja then & now & all submerged lands off the coast & probably all California dreaming too
There were no gains in territory by either side.
