Entertainingly, the slang name for those from Missouri at that point was
“Pukes.”

“Hash” mentioned already as a food!

“What man, having the whole American continent to choose from, would
willingly
date his letters from the county of Snohomish or bring up his children in the
city of Nenolelops?”

Interesting essay but nothing systemtic to it.
