Ideally situated,Robidoux's trading post became the City of St. Joseph in 1843 andremained relatively small until the discovery of gold in California in1848 which greatly altered and accelerated westward migration. St.Joseph became the head water for the journey west as hundreds ofthousands of settlers arrived by steamboat and hundreds of wagontrains lined the streets waiting to be ferried across the MissouriRiver. The covered wagons, oxen, and supplies purchased by theemigrants established the economic foundation of the City etc..." 2000 - "The City of St. Joseph is the county seat of Buchanan Countyand the sixth largest city in Missouri with 73,990 residents as of the2000 Census.
