In 1793, the Mallet brothers, French traders from the Illinois French settlement, traveled as far west as the junction of the South Platte for then for some distance before turning south to the Arkansas River, and onto Santa Fe. It is claimed these Frenchman gave the nearby River its name—Platte. The 1803 Louisiana Purchase made the region part of the United States. With the discovery of gold in California and in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado, pioneers traveled the famous trails through Sedgwick and Logan Counties.
