The land that is now the State of Missouri was purchased by the US from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Prior to that it was held by Spain since 1762, and before that by France since 1699. Prior to 1699, no European power claimed ownership of that territory, other than through vague claims of ownership of everything from the Atlantic coast westward.
