The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The area along the rivers has been inhabited for thousands of years by indigenous peoples. Historic Native American tribes in the area included the Ioway, Meskwaki and Sac tribes, who ceded land to the United States in the Platte Purchase. This area became part of northwest Missouri.
