The US approached France to buy the city of New Orleans and the immediately surrounding area, and France offered to sell pretty much their entire land claim in North America. The deal was concluded in 1803 and was known as the "Louisiana Purchase". In addition to the present state of Louisiana, the Louisiana Purchase included territory that would become all or part of the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Wyoming, Montana, and North and South Dakota.
