Jefferson City, State capital on the Missouri River, United States

Jefferson City stretches across Cole and Callaway Counties, featuring the Missouri State Capitol building constructed with Carthage and Phoenix marble materials.

The city was established in 1821 after Congress required the new state capital to be within 40 miles of the Osage River mouth.

Lincoln University, founded in 1866 by African American Union Army veterans, stands as a significant educational institution in the Missouri capital.

The Highway 179 Bypass Trail Project provides designated paths connecting residential areas to commercial districts and government facilities.

The Missouri State Capitol contains detailed murals by Thomas Hart Benton depicting the state's history through various artistic interpretations.
