When：March 10, 1804
Where：St. Louis, Missouri
What：In St. Louis, Missouri, a formal ceremony was conducted to transfer ownership of the Louisiana Territory from France to the U.S.
Why significant：Napoleon was motivated to sell Louisiana to the U.S. to fund his military. With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the U.S. purchased approximately 828,000,000 square miles of territory from France, thereby doubling the size of the young republic. What was known as Louisiana Territory stretched from the Mississippi River in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west and from the Gulf of Mexico in the south to the Canadian border in the north. Part or all of 15 states were eventually created from the land deal, which is considered one of the most important achievements of Thomas Jefferson’s presidency.
