Biographical History

The Central Superintendency was established in 1851 as the successor to the St. Louis Superintendency, also known as the District of St. Louis, established in 1822 as the successor to the Missouri Superintendency. Originally responsible for most of the Indians in what is now Kansas & Nebraska and in the upper regions of the Missouri, Platte, & Arkansas Rivers in the Dakotas, Wyoming, & Colorado. With the organization of new territories and the establishment of new superintendences, outlying areas were removed from the Central Superintendency, and it gradually became responsible for agencies located in the Indian Territory (present Kansas and Oklahoma). The headquarters of the Central Superintendency were at Saint Louis (1851-59) & Saint Joseph (1859-65), Mo., and Atchison (1865-69) & Lawrence (1869-78), Kan.

The Missouri Fur Company was established in 1812 in Saint Louis, Mo., as a reorganization of the St. Louis Missouri Fur Company. The company trapped fur in the northern Rocky Mountains. Reorganized in 1814, 1817, and 1819, it ceased doing business in 1825.
