The Louisiana Purchase
occurred in 1803. The Missouri Territory was originally known as the Louisiana Territory and was renamed in 1812, to avoid confusion with the new state of Louisiana. The Territory of Missouri existed from 1812 until 1821. (In 1820, a portion of the Territory became the state of Missouri.) In 1819, the Territory of
Arkansas was created from a portion of the southern area of the Territory of Missouri.
When the Missouri Territory was organized in 1812, there were only five counties: St. Charles, St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve, Cape Girardeau and New Madrid.
Between 1812 and 1820, the number of counties increased to fifteen with the addition of Washington (1813), Howard (1816), and Jefferson, Franklin, Wayne, Lincoln, Madison, Montgomery, Pike and Cooper (all 1818).
The 1837 Treaty called for the Indians to give up their rights to land east of the Missouri River
(the Platte Purchase).

Douglas County
Douglas County, Missouri, was traditionally Osage Indian territory. However, the Osage were eventually pushed out of the area after the Louisiana Purchase.
The source of the White River is in the Boston Mountains in the Ozarks. The river flows northwards from northwest
Arkansas, loops up through southwest Missouri, then back into Arkansas, and then heads generally southeast to its mouth at the Mississippi River. Douglas County is located near the North Fork and Bryant's Fork of the White River. Douglas County was created in 1857 from Ozark and Taney Counties. Ozark County was created in 1841 from Taney county (on border with Arkansas). Taney County created from Greene County in 1835.
The Douglas County Seat is Ava. Previously, the county seat was located at Arno, west of Ava. Prior to that, Vera Cruz (formerly called Red Bud) was the county seat. Vera Cruz is located on Bryant Creek, which flows through the middle of the county.
