Best Answer

The history of St. Louis, Missouri began with the settlement of the St. Louis area by Native American mound builders who lived as part of the Mississippian culture from the 9th century to the 15th century, followed by other migrating tribal groups. Starting in the late 17th century, French explorers arrived. Spain took over in 1763 and a trading company led by Pierre Laclede and Auguste Chouteauestablished the settlement of St. Louis in February 1764. It attracted French settlers leaving Illinois when Britain took control east of the Mississippi. The city grew in population due to its location as a trading post on the Mississippi River, as the western fur trade was lucrative. The city played a small role in the American Revolutionary War and became part of the U.S. through the Louisiana Purchasein 1803.

Why did Lewis and Clark settle in Montana?

Sorry, neither Meriwether Lewis nor William Clark settled in the west. Both returned after the expedition to their existing homes in the east. In 1807, Jefferson appointed Lewis as governor of the Louisiana Territory and Lewis settled in St. Louis, Missouri. He died in 1809 in Tennessee on a trip from St. Lewis to Washington DC. Clark married Julia Hancock on January 5, 1808, at Fincastle, Virginia. On July 6, 1813, he took the oath of office as governor of Missouri Territory, He died in St. Louis on September 1, 1838.
