Louisiana was first owned by France when it was claimed by explorer Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle in 1682. The territory was named in honor of King Louis XIV. In 1763, following the Seven Years' War, France ceded Louisiana to Spain, and it remained under Spanish control until it was returned to France in 1800, only to be sold to the United States in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase.
