Of the early Spanish explora tions little is known, except that Coronado probably readied the great plain of this region in 1541. More than one hundred and twenty-five years later Father Marquette noted the Platte riv«r on his trip up the Missouri. In the beginning of the Nineteenth century the Lewis and Clark ex pedition skirted the boundaries of the present state and in 1S05. Manuel Lisa established the first known settlement which was a fur trading post at Kellevue. This was, just afterjthe Louisiana I'urchttse hail'broughti.'-JNebraska into United States territory. Omaha was established :ik a post of the American Fu com pany in 1825 and* Nebraska City the following year. With the California ^'-1 rush in 1S49 many pioneer. passed through Nebraska and some stopped and settled there al though there was a law forbid ding settlements aimmg the In dians. The real colonization boom, however, started with the passing of the Kansas-Nebraska act in 1834, which arranged that' these two sections should become free or slave states at the dic tate ofc their inhabitants. The Nebraska territory was then or ganized and reached from the fortieth to the forty-ninth paral lel. In 1861, the region north 4 3 was made into Dakota territory. Th Idaho territory was also created, which re duced Nebraska to its present size of 77,520 square miles, ex cept for a slight addition in the Northwest which was made in 1882. In. 1867 Nebraska was admit ted as the 37th state over the president's veto.
