During the colonial era, Minnesota was not specifically designated as a colony. However, the area that is now Minnesota was part of various colonial territories controlled by European powers. For example, France claimed the region as part of New France, while Britain gained control after the French and Indian War. Eventually, the United States acquired the land as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
The territorial days of Minnesota refer to the period when Minnesota was a territory of the United States before it became a state. After the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the land previously controlled by Britain was divided into different territories, including the Northwest Territory. Minnesota was initially part of the Northwest Territory, but in 1805, it became part of the Indiana Territory. Over the years, the area underwent various territorial divisions until it became the Minnesota Territory in 1849.
