The French explorer Étienne de Veniard, Sieur de Bourgmont visited the people in the early 1720s.
He built Fort Orleans in 1723 as a trading post near present-day Brunswick, Missouri.
It was occupied until 1726. In 1730 an attack by the Sauk/Fox tribe nearly destroyed the Missouria, killing hundreds.

After oil was discovered on their lands in 1912, the US government forced many of the tribe off their allotments. ==Population== According to the ethnographer James Mooney, the population of the tribe was about 200 families in 1702; 1000 people in 1780; 300 in 1805; 80 in 1829, when they were living with the Otoe; and 13 in 1910.

After a smallpox outbreak in 1829, fewer than 100 Missouria survived, and they all joined the Otoe. They signed treaties with the US government in 1830 and 1854 to cede their lands in Missouri.

The US pressured the two tribes into ceding more lands in 1876 and 1881. In 1880 the tribes split into two factions, the Coyote, who were traditionalists, and the Quakers, who were assimilationists.

By 1890 most of the Coyote band rejoined the Quakers on their reservation.
The tribe merged with the Otoe tribe. The Curtis Act required the disbanding of tribal courts and governments in order to assimilate the people and prepare the territory for statehood, but the tribe created their own court system in 1900.
Under the Dawes Act, by 1907 members of the tribes were registered and allotted individual plots of land per household.
