Why is Missouri Called the Show-Me State? A Missouri congressman may have coined the phrase the âShow-me Stateâ in regard to the stateâs political affairs. Missouri's nickname does not have a single verifiable source. Missouri is sometimes referred to as the âCave State,â due to the more than 6,000 caves found throughout the state.
The state nickname is the Treasure State.. Other nicknames include Land of Shining Mountains, Big Sky Country, and the slogan The Last Best Place.. The state ranks fourth in area, but 44th in population, and therefore has the third lowest population density in the United States.
