The first state west of the Mississippi River to be admitted to the Union was Missouri. It became the 24th state on August 10, 1821, following the Missouri Compromise, which allowed for its admission as a slave state while maintaining a balance with free states. Missouri's admission marked a significant moment in the expansion of the United States westward.
