The first explorers to leave proof that they had been through South Dakota were the Verendrye brothers, Francois and Louis-Joseph, in 1743.

At the end of March, 1743 the Verendrye brothers buried a lead plate at a site near present day Fort Pierre, South Dakota, to lay the basis for French sovereignty on the upper Missouri, seeking to establish French control of the entire Mississippi River drainage.
