Fort Saint Anthony was renamed Fort Snelling once its construction was completed in 1825. It is a former United States Army fortification that was designated a Military Reservation on the bluffs overlooking the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers. That designation placed fort lands outside territorial administration or jurisdiction. Over time the location was part of the Louisiana Purchase and was included in the Missouri Territory. When Missouri became a state in 1812 the land not included became an Unorganized Territory which included Minnesota west of the Mississippi. When the Wisconsin Territory was formed Minnesota and Fort Snelling were included in the new Territory. When Wisconsin gained statehood in 1848 the Minnesota Territory was formed. By an an Act of Congress the Military Reservation was reduced in size on 26 August 1852. It was again reduced on 4 Janurary 1871.
