 The State of Missouri, known as the "Show-Me State", joined the Union on August 10, 1821 as the 24th state. The name Missouri means "town of the large canoes" in Siouan Indian language.
Missouri is bounded on the east by the Mississippi River and the states of Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee, on the south by Arkansas, on the west by Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, and the north by Iowa. The state is divided west to east by the Missouri River; to the north are rolling plains, to the south is the Ozark Mountain plateau. The Mississippi-Missouri river system is the 4th largest in the world.

The white blossom of the hawthorn is Missouri's State Floral Emblem. Hawthorns are shrubs and trees native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in Europe, Asia and North America. Hawthorns, besides providing food and shelter for many birds and mammals, are recommended for water conservation landscapes. Hawthorn flowers, along with Lily of the Valley are considered flowers for the month of May.

In 1904 St. Louis celebrated the centennial of the United States 1803 acquisition of French North American territory, known as the Louisiana Purchase, which included what was to become the State of Missouri.
In an 1803 letter Jefferson charged Lewis & Clark, the leaders of an expedition to ". . . explore the Missouri river, and such principal stream of it as by its course and communication with the waters of the Pacific Ocean whether the Columbia, Oregon, Colorado or any other river may offer the most direct and practicable water communication across this continent for the purposes of commerce."

St Louis skyline, Gateway Arch, Missouri
The Gateway Arch, a 630 foot tall "inverted steel catenary arch" has become the icon of St. Louis. Known as the "Gateway to the West", the Arch is part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and located near the starting point of the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
The Arch and surrounding park was established to commemorate three historical events: 1- The Louisiana Purchase, 2-the first civil government west of the Mississippi River, and 3- the debate over slavery raised by the Dred Scott case.
The Arch was designed by architect Eero Saarinen.
