The Great Rivers State
Now this new nickname will not replace the nationally known “Show Me State”, but none the less: Missouri has a new nickname.
Through the efforts of The Missouri Stream Team Watershed Coalition, Missouri now has a new slogan: "The Great Rivers State."

Missouri includes the mighty Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, plus a total of 110,000 miles of floatable waterways.
