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.
