French people in Nebraska

The French people in Nebraska have been present since before statehood in 1867. The area was claimed by the French in 1682 as part of the Louisiana Territory associated with the Mississippi River and its tributaries. French-Canadian explorers, including the Mallet brothers in 1739, traversed and hunted across the territory of Nebraska, including the period after France had ceded it to Spain.〔"Nebraska", ''Catholic Encyclopedia'', 1910〕 French colonists and French-American migrants in the 19th century established trading posts and later towns, after fur trading gave way to settlements and farming across the state. Many of their descendants continue to live in the state.

According to the historian Addison Erwin Sheldon, the French knew of the Otoe and Missouri tribes in Nebraska as early as 1673.〔Sheldon, et al. (19--) ''Nebraska history, Volumes 4-5 ''. Nebraska State Historical Society. p 60.〕 In 1682, French explorer René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle claimed the area first when he named all the territory drained by the Mississippi River and its tributaries for France, naming it ''La Louisiane'' (Louisiana). In 1714, fellow French explorer Étienne de Veniard, Sieur de Bourgmont traveled from the mouth of the Missouri River in Missouri to the mouth of the Platte River, which he called the ''Rivière Nebraskier'', becoming the first person to approximate the state's name.〔(Dan Hechenberger, "Etienne de Véniard sieur de Bourgmont - A timeline" ), ''The Lewis and Clark Journey of Discovery'', National Park Service〕 Brothers and French-Canadian voyageurs Pierre Antoine and Paul Mallet, sought to reach Santa Fe, New Mexico by water via what they renamed the Platte River in 1739. They ended up following the south fork of the Platte into Colorado.
French colonists settled throughout the Mississippi Valley, first to the east of the river in areas such as present-day Illinois. Trappers and traders established relationships with Native American tribes at major points around the Great Lakes and along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers.
In the Treaty of Fontainebleau in 1762, France ceded its lands west of the Mississippi River to Spain. In 1794 a French trapper Jean-Baptiste Truteau established a trading post 30 miles up the Niobrara River. The next year, in 1795, Frenchman Jacques D'Eglise traveled the Missouri River Valley on behalf of the Spanish crown. Searching for the elusive Northwest Passage, D'Eglise did not go any further than central North Dakota.
In 1803 the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France for $15,000,000. What became Nebraska was under the "rule" of the United States for the first time.
