Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Varendrye led the first known European expedition into the area in 1738, making contact with the Mandan Indian villages near present day Mandan/Bismarck, North Dakota on the Missouri River. Pierre sent two of his sons into the area in 1742 to go beyond the Missouri River. They most likely traveled through present day Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and South Dakota, leaving a lead plate near present day Pierre, South Dakota, claiming the land for France.
