when did the united states purchase the louisiana territory?
1803
with the louisiana purchase in 1803, the united states acquired france's 828,000 square mile claim to the watersheds of the mississippi river (west of the river) and missouri river. the purchase encompassed all or part of 15 current u.s. states] (including all of oklahoma) and parts of two canadian provinces.









































out of the louisiana purchase, louisiana territory and orleans territory were organized. orleans territory became the state of louisiana in 1812, and louisiana territory was renamed missouri territory to avoid confusion.
