It is said that Missouri is referred to as the Show Me state due to a speech that was made in 1899 by Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver in which he stated, "I come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me." From that day forward, the nickname was coined.
