TODAY IN ADVENTURE | | Mississippi Claimed for France | | On April 9th (that’s today!), 1682, the French explorer Robert de La Salle placed an engraved plate and a cross at the mouth of the Mississippi River and claimed the territory for France. He reached the rivers’ mouth after canoeing from present day Fort Wayne, Indiana with a crew of 18 Native Americans. Once he completed the trip down North America’s longest river he named the region La Louisiane in honor of the French King Louis XIV. And that’s how the state of Louisiana got its name. | | |
