Jefferson City is the capital of Missouri. Here's some information about it:
Location: Situated on the Missouri River, in Cole County, roughly in the center of the state.
Population: Relatively small compared to other state capitals, with a population around 43,000.
History: Founded in 1826, it was chosen as the state capital in 1821 after a heated debate between proponents of various locations. Its location on the Missouri River was strategically important for transportation at the time.
Government: The Missouri State Capitol building is a prominent landmark and houses the state legislature, governor's office, and other government agencies.
Economy: While not a major economic center, Jefferson City's economy is largely driven by state government employment and related services. It also has some manufacturing and tourism.
Attractions: Beyond the State Capitol, Jefferson City offers historical sites, museums (like the Missouri State Museum), and outdoor recreational opportunities along the Missouri River. The Missouri State Penitentiary, a former prison, is also a popular (and somewhat eerie) attraction.
Jefferson City is a relatively quiet and unassuming state capital, but it holds significant historical and political importance for Missouri.
