In 1763-1801, Nebraska was part of the Spanish possessions, then was briefly in the hands of France, in 1803 it was acquired by the United States during the purchase of Louisiana.
Nebraska began to be explored by the expeditions of Lewis and Clark (1805), Zebulon Montgomery Pike (1806) and Stephen Harriman Long (1820).
