The three rivers that converge to form the Missouri were named by Meriwether Lewis in 1805 for President Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State James Madison and Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin, about when the area was visited by the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
