The Territory of Missouri was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from June 4, 1812,[1] until August 10, 1821. In 1819, the Territory of Arkansas was created from a portion of its southern area. In 1821, a southeastern portion of the territory was admitted to the Union as the State of Missouri, and the rest became unorganized territory for several years.
