Its name is an Algonquin Indian term meaning "river of the big
canoes." Missouri was organized as a territory in 1812 and was
admitted to the Union as the 24th state in 1821. Missouri is called
the "Show-Me State," because its people have a reputation for
believing only what they see. Its location and its two great rivers
have made the state a transportation hub. The mighty Mississippi
River forms Missouri's eastern border. The wide Missouri River winds
across the state from west to east. A wealth of food, manufactured
products and raw materials is shipped on these waterways, the
nation's two longest rivers.
