On April 30, 1803 the United States purchased a huge territory from France. The year 2003 marks the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase.
This land reached from the Mississippi River west to the Rocky Mountains and from New Orleans north to Canada.
With the Louisiana Purchase the United States doubled in size and became one of the largest countries in the world.
