French lead miners started a settlement in Missouri in 1735. France ceded this area to Spain in 1763. Spain built New Madrid in 1789 near the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and this area was ceded to back to France in 1800. France sold the Missouri area to the United States in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase.<ref>Christina K.
