1803

April 30th - The United States purchases the Louisiana territory for a total price of $15 million - less than 3 cents per acre - and nearly doubles its size. But because the eastern boundary below the 31st parallel was unclear a dispute arises between the United States and Spain that won’t be fully resolved until 1819.
