Rocheport was a trading post for both settlers and Native Americans. After the purchase of the Louisiana Territory in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to lead an expedition to explore the western territories. On June 7, 1804, their journey led them to the convergence of the Missouri River and Moniteau Creek near the future settlement of Rocheport. Clark noted the features of the land, flora, fauna and native pictographs on the bluffs in his journal. The Sauk leader Quashquame led a village of Sauk, Meskwaki, and Ioway near Rocheport, along Moniteau Creek in the first decade of the 19th century; [4] this village was noted by Zebulon Pike in 1806. [5] Rocheport became a permanent settlement in the early nineteenth century. Rocheport is a French name meaning "rocky port". [6]
