history

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Indigenous people inhabited Missouri for thousands of years before European exploration and settlement. Archaeological excavations along the rivers have shown continuous habitation for more than 7,000 years. Beginning before 1000 CE, there arose the complex Mississippian culture, whose people created regional political centers at present-day St.Louis and across the Mississippi river at Cahokia, near present-day Collinsville, illinois.
