2003 Louisiana Purchase Bicentennial Plate Block of 4 37c Postage Stamps - MNH, OG - Sc# 3782
On April 3 2003 in New Orleans, LA the USPS celebrated the bicentennial anniversary of the signing of the Louisiana Purchase. The Louisiana region, named for French King Louis XIV, covered territory from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, between Canada and the Gulf of Mexico. By a treaty dated April 30, 1803, the United States bought the land from France for about 15 million. The Louisiana Purchase, and the explorations that followed, opened the way for Western expansion in America.
