Lousiana
France claimed the territory of Louisiana as a colony, but that territory was far larger than the present-day state of Louisiana. Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa at least were all wholly in French Louisiana.
The Colony was established on 25 March 1634 and became a US State on 28 April 1788.
One unique characteristic of the French colony of Louisiana is that it was named after King Louis. Hence the name LOUISiana. The first Louisiana legal code was written in French. It is the only state that based its laws on French and Spanish legal codes. All other states are based on the common law and thus the law in Louisiana is vastly different than the law in all the other states in the US.
It was founded as a British Colony in 1733 and became the 4th US State in 1788.
