Sedalia, County seat in Pettis County, Missouri.
Located 30 miles south of the Missouri River, Sedalia features brick buildings, limestone structures, and a network of railway connections across Missouri.
General George Rappeen Smith established the settlement in 1857, initially naming it Sedville before changing it to Sedalia for a more appealing sound.
