Missouri was originally purchased from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase and part of the Missouri territory was admitted into the union as the 24th state in 1821. Missouri’s geography is highly varied. The northern part of the state lies in dissected till plains while the southern part lies in the Ozark Mountains, with the Missouri River dividing the two. The confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers is located near St. Louis. The state is named after the Missouri River which in turn is named after the Siouan Indian tribe whose Illinois name, ouemessourita means “those who have dugout canoes”. Missouri’s borders physically touch a total of eight different states, as does its neighbor, Tennessee. No state in the U.S. touches more than eight states. It earned the nickname “Gateway to the West” because it served as a departure point for settlers heading to the west. It was the starting point and the return destination of the Lewis and Clark Expedition
Missouri has been known for its population’s generally “stalwart, conservative, noncredulous” attitude toward regulatory regimes, which is one of the origins of the state’s official nickname, the "Show-Me State." As a result, and combined with the fact that Missouri is one of America’s leading alcohol-producing states, regulation of alcohol and tobacco in Missouri is among the most laissez-faire in America. No statewide smoking ban ever has been seriously entertained before the Missouri General Assembly, and only 20% of Missourians support such a statewide ban in public places. In 2007, Forbes named St. Louis as America’s “best city for smokers.” Missouri is also known as “The Cave State” with over 6000 recorded caves, second to Kentucky. Perry County has both the largest number of caves and the single longest cave in the state.
