Missouri (the cave state) is a U.S. state located in the Midwestern United States. The state is named for the Missouri River, which was named after the Siouan-language tribe, whose name in Illinois was ouemessourita (wimihsoorita), meaning "those who have dugout canoes". Nickname is The Show Me State. It’s the 18th most populous state with a 2009 estimated population of 5,987,580. Missouri's capital is Jefferson City. Missouri was originally acquired from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase and became defined as the Missouri Territory. Part of the Missouri Territory was admitted into the union as the 24th state in August 10, 1821. (via Wikipedia)
