DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA

In America in 1804, when that southern part of the Louisiana Purchase which is now called the State of Louisiana was organized as the Territory of Orleans, all that was north of this was organized as the District of Louisiana, under the Governor of Indiana Territory. In 1805 it was given a separate government as the Territory of Louisiana. In 1813 its name was changed to Missouri Territory.
