Native
American Sioux and Chippewa Indians lived in Minnesota when
French fur-traders landed in Two Harbors in 1660. Following
the visits of several French explorers, fur traders, and
missionaries, including Jacques Marquette, Louis Joliet, and
sieur de la Salle, the region was claimed for Louis XIV by
Daniel Greysolon, sieur Duluth, in 1679. He claimed the
entire region for France.
Spain receives Louisiana Territory (includes Minnesota west
of the Mississippi River) from France in compensation for
its loss of Florida during the Seven Years War. However,
Spain did little to explore or settle the region and France
continued fur trading. At the end of the French and Indian
War in 1763, Great Britain wins claim to what is now eastern
North America (east of the Mississippi River) and Canada,
including eastern Minnesota.
The end of the Revolutionary War in 1787 the U.S. acquired
eastern Minnesota from Great Britain and 20 years later
bought the western part from France in the Louisiana
Purchase of 1803. Much of the region was explored by U.S.
Army Lt. Zebulon M. Pike before the northern strip of
Minnesota bordering Canada was ceded by Britain in 1818. All
of Minnesota was now owned by the United States.
In 1824 Fort St. Anthony was built where the Minnesota and
Mississippi rivers meet. Fort St. Anthony completed. Name
changed to Fort Snelling in Honor of Colonel Josiah
Snelling's work. Fort Snelling became a place of industry
and growth rather than just a military post. In 1837,
Land-cession treaties negotiated with the Dakota Indians and
the Chippewa Indians for United States rights to a portion
of land between the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers. This
new land stimulates the lumber industry in Minnesota.
Loggers and farmers settled the first small towns of
Minnesota, including St. Paul, St. Anthony (Minneapolis),
and Stillwater.
Minnesota belonged to many territories before it became its
own on March 3, 1849. with present day eastern and southern
boundaries set. The population amounts to less than 4000
people, not including persons of pure Native-American
heritage. Law provides for free public schools to be open to
all people between four and twenty-one years of age.
Minnesota Historical Society formed to collect, publish, and
educate people about Minnesota history. Soon afterward, at
Traverse des Sioux and Mendota with the Dakota Indians
whereby the Dakota ceded their lands east of the Red River,
Lake Traverse, and the Big Dakota River and south of a
boundary line between the Dakota and Chippewa in 1825. In
return the Dakota received $1,665,000 US, $1,360,000 of
which was set into a trust fund, of which the interest would
be distributed to chiefs partly in cash, partly in supplies,
and partly in education and civilization funds
Minnesota became the 32nd state admitted to the Union of the
United States of America. State on May 11, 1858 with St.
Paul as the state capital and the seal adopted by the
Minnesota Legislature. The Civil War began two years later
and Minnesota became the first state to offer troops for the
Union armies. Minnesota volunteers one thousand men for
service in the Union Army. Minnesota eventually provides
24,000 men for service in the Union Army for fighting in the
Civil War or the Indian Outbreak. During this time, the
Indians angry from lack of food went to war against
Minnesota. With many of the men gone to fight for the Union,
federal troops had to come help stop the war.
During the late 1800s, industrial development rapidly took
place. Wheat farms were started in southern Minnesota and
Minneapolis became one of the world's leading flour centers.
Railroads expanded and their advertisements brought
thousands of immigrants from Europe to settle the state.
Iron ore was discovered and shipped from the Vermilion Range
and the Mesabi Range. Duluth became a great port city and
the Mayo Clinic, a general medical center that would become
one of the world's leading medical research centers, was
founded.
In 1917, The United States of America enters World War I.
118,497 men from Minnesota serve in the war. The following
year, a huge forest fire killed more than 400 people and
destroyed $25 million in property. Minnesotans formed the
Farmer-Labor party to help farmers and factory workers.
The Great Depression left 70% of ironworkers without jobs.
Farm income fell. State and federal governments helped
people to keep their farms and provide them with jobs. World
War II (1939-1945) helped the economy to recover from the
Depression. Factories were busy making parts for airplanes,
weapons and ships. World War II ends with 6,255 American
servicemen from Minnesota giving their lives for their
country.
Industry expanded and changed after the war. Some of these
industries are electronic equipment, computers, chemicals,
and heavy machinery. The iron ore industry changed and began
to develop taconite ore. Farms decreased and many people
moved to the cities.
The last American military personnel leave Vietnam with the
evacuation of the United States embassy in Saigon,
completely ending American involvement in Vietnam and the
Vietnam War. 1,053 Minnesotans gave their lives over the
course of the war.
In 1991 when Operation Desert Storm occurs with there were
approximately 11,000 Minnesotans in uniform helping to
defeat Iraq and liberate Kuwait. The Minnesota Twins win the
World Series. A record-breaking snowstorm hits Minnesota on
November 1 depositing twenty-four inches of snow in
twenty-four hours.
Recently, Minnesota's state government has also made
changes. Laws were passed favoring industry and protecting
the environment from pollution. Districts were changed to
provide the city equal representation in state legislature.
Education received an increase in financial aid and
beginning in 1987 families could choose which schools they
wanted their children to attend.
