In the beginning of the Nineteenth century the Lewis and Clark expedition skirted the boundaries of the present State and In 1S05, Manuel Lisa established the first known settlement which was a fur trading iost at Uellevue.

The real colonization boom, however, started with the passing of the Kansas-Nebrask- a act In ISM, which arranged that these two sections should become free or slave states at the dictate of their Inhabitants. The Nebraska territory was then organized and reached from, the fortieth to the forty-nintparallel. In 18(51, the region north of it was made Into Dakota territory. The Idaho territory was also created, which reduced Nebraska to Its present size ..of 77.520 square tulles, except for n alight addition In the Northwest which was made In 1882.
