Marquette and Joliet as part of their exploration of the unknown territories between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, sailed down the Mississippi discovering Indian tribes and new lands along the way including Arkansas and Iowa. They stayed only briefly. However, other French explorers followed. As a result Iowa was part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
