History Day Regional History Topic Resources Dr. Adam Criblez Director, Center for Regional History [email protected] 573-651-2555 The New Madrid Earthquakes The New Madrid fault runs from the northeastern corner of Arkansas, up the Mississippi river into southern Missouri and Illinois. In 1811 and 1812, a series of violent and severe earthquakes struck the region. Named after the largest settlement between St. Louis, Missouri and the towns that lined the river in Louisiana, the New Madrid Earthquakes created vast amounts of damage and the shaking reportedly rang church bells as far away as Boston. The quake was strong enough to force waves backwards up the Mississippi river, level towns, and caused volcanic-like sand blows to shoot from the ground.

He served as the Spanish Land Commandant when the Spanish owned what was known as the Louisiana Territory, and was also there when it transferred from the Spanish to the French and then purchased by the United States.
