'''Jefferson City''', informally '''Jeff City''',<ref name="JeffNick" /> is the [[List of capitals in the United States|capital]] of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Missouri]]. It had a population of 43,228 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]],<ref>{{Cite web|date=April 1, 2020|title=2020 U.S. Census|url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/jeffersoncitycitymissouri,US/POP010220|access-date=November 5, 2021|website=Census QuickFacts}}</ref> ranking as the [[List of cities in Missouri|16th most populous city]] in the state.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/cph-2-27.pdf |title=Table 10.

Most of the city is in Cole County, with a small northern section extending into [[Callaway County, Missouri|Callaway County]]. Jefferson City is named for [[Thomas Jefferson]], the third [[President of the United States]].
Jefferson City is located on the northern edge of the [[Ozark Plateau]] on the southern side of the [[Missouri River]] in a region known as [[Mid-Missouri]], that is roughly mid-way between the state's two large urban areas of [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]] and [[St. Louis]]. It is {{convert|29|mi|km}} south of [[Columbia, Missouri]], and sits at the western edge of the [[Missouri Rhineland]], one of the major wine-producing regions of the [[Midwest]]. The city is dominated by the domed [[Missouri State Capitol|Capitol]], which rises from a bluff overlooking the Missouri River to the north; [[Lewis and Clark]] passed the bluff on their historic expedition upriver before Europeans established any settlement there.
Many of Jefferson City's primary employers are in service and manufacturing industries. Jefferson City is also home to [[Lincoln University (Missouri)|Lincoln University]], a [[Public university|public]] [[Historically black colleges and universities|historically black]] [[land-grant university]] founded in 1866 by the [[1st Missouri Regiment of Colored Infantry|62nd Regiment of U.S. Colored Troops]] with support from the [[2nd Missouri Regiment of Colored Infantry|65th Regiment of U.S. Colored Troops]].

[[File:Jefferson City Missouri.jpg|thumb|right|Photograph of Jefferson City and its geography from the International Space Station]]
In [[Pre-Columbian era|pre-Columbian times]], this region was home of an ancient people known only as the [[Mound builder (people)|"Mound Builders"]], being replaced by [[Osage Nation|Osage]] Native Americans. In the late 17th century, frontiersmen started to inhabit the area, including [[Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac]], [[Louis Jolliet]], [[Jacques Marquette]], [[Robert de LaSalle]], and [[Daniel Boone]], with the latter having the greatest influence on the region. Daniel Boone's son, Daniel Morgan Boone, would later lay out Jefferson City in the early 19th century.
When the [[Missouri Territory]] was organized in 1812, [[St. Louis]] was Missouri's seat of government, and [[St. Charles, Missouri|St. Charles]] would serve as the next capital. However, Jefferson City was chosen as the new capital in 1821. The village first was called "Lohman's Landing", and when the legislature decided to relocate there, they proposed the name "Missouriopolis" before settling on the city of "Jefferson" to honor Thomas Jefferson.<ref>McMillen, Margot Ford & Murphy, Dennis. ''A to Z: The Dictionary of Missouri Place Names''. Columbia, MO. Pebble Publishing, 1996. {{ISBN|0-9646625-4-X}}.</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://shsmo.org/manuscripts/ramsay/ramsay_cole.html|title=Cole County, Missouri Place Names, 1928-1945 {{!}} The State Historical Society of Missouri|website=shsmo.org|access-date=2019-01-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404044019/https://shsmo.org/manuscripts/ramsay/ramsay_cole.html|archive-date=2019-04-04|url-status=live}}</ref> Over the years, the city was most often referred to as "Jefferson City" and the name stuck. For years, this village was little more than a trading post located in the wilderness about midway between St. Louis and [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]]. In 1825, the settlement was incorporated as a city and a year later, the Missouri legislature first met in Jefferson City.
Jefferson City was chosen as the site of a state prison. This prison, named the [[Missouri State Penitentiary]], opened in 1836. This prison was home to multiple infamous Americans, including former heavyweight champion [[Sonny Liston]], assassin [[James Earl Ray]], and bank robber [[Pretty Boy Floyd]].
During the [[American Civil War|Civil War]], Jefferson City was occupied by [[Union (American Civil War)|Union]] troops and the elected state legislature was driven from Jefferson City by Union General [[Nathaniel Lyon]]. Some of the legislators later reconvened in [[Neosho, Missouri|Neosho]] and passed an ordinance of secession. Missouri was claimed by both the Confederacy and the Union, as was neighboring state [[Kentucky]]. Missourians were strongly divided and many people in the state—especially in St. Louis—supported the Union, while other areas (such as Missouri's [[Little Dixie (Missouri)|Little Dixie]]) were strongly pro-[[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] along the [[Missouri River]] between Jefferson City and Kansas City.
German immigrants created vineyards in small towns on either side of the Missouri River, especially on the north from the city east to [[Marthasville, Missouri|Marthasville]], located outside of St. Louis. Known as the "[[Missouri Rhineland]]" for its vineyards and first established by German immigrants in the mid-1800s, this region has become part of Missouri's agricultural and tourist economy.

===Climate===
Jefferson City has a [[humid continental climate]] (''Dfa'') with hot, rainy summers and cold winters. The city borders on having a [[humid subtropical climate]] but falls just short due to January having a mean temperature of {{convert|30|F}} which is below the {{convert|32|F}} isotherm. [[Thunderstorm]]s are common in both the spring and summer. Light snow is common during the winter, although about half of wintertime precipitation falls as rain.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://weatherspark.com/averages/30636/Jefferson-City-Missouri-United-States|title=Average Weather in Jefferson City, Missouri, United States, Year Round – Weather Spark|website=weatherspark.com|access-date=9 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131213234148/http://weatherspark.com/averages/30636/Jefferson-City-Missouri-United-States|archive-date=13 December 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>

-'''Jefferson City''', informally '''Jeff City''',<ref name="JeffNick" /> is the [[List of capitals in the United States|capital]] of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Missouri]]. It had a population of 43,228 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]],<ref>{{Cite web|date=April 1, 2020|title=2020 U.S. Census|url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/jeffersoncitycitymissouri,US/POP010220|access-date=November 5, 2021|website=Census QuickFacts}}</ref> ranking as the [[List of cities in Missouri|16th most populous city]] in the state.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/cph-2-27.pdf |title=Table 10.

Most of the city is in Cole County, with a small northern section extending into [[Callaway County, Missouri|Callaway County]]. Jefferson City is named for [[Thomas Jefferson]], the third [[President of the United States]].
-
-Jefferson City is located on the northern edge of the [[Ozark Plateau]] on the southern side of the [[Missouri River]] in a region known as [[Mid-Missouri]], that is roughly mid-way between the state's two large urban areas of [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]] and [[St. Louis]]. It is {{convert|29|mi|km}} south of [[Columbia, Missouri]], and sits at the western edge of the [[Missouri Rhineland]], one of the major wine-producing regions of the [[Midwest]]. The city is dominated by the domed [[Missouri State Capitol|Capitol]], which rises from a bluff overlooking the Missouri River to the north; [[Lewis and Clark]] passed the bluff on their historic expedition upriver before Europeans established any settlement there.
-
-Many of Jefferson City's primary employers are in service and manufacturing industries. Jefferson City is also home to [[Lincoln University (Missouri)|Lincoln University]], a [[Public university|public]] [[Historically black colleges and universities|historically black]] [[land-grant university]] founded in 1866 by the [[1st Missouri Regiment of Colored Infantry|62nd Regiment of U.S. Colored Troops]] with support from the [[2nd Missouri Regiment of Colored Infantry|65th Regiment of U.S. Colored Troops]].

-
-In [[Pre-Columbian era|pre-Columbian times]], this region was home of an ancient people known only as the [[Mound builder (people)|"Mound Builders"]], being replaced by [[Osage Nation|Osage]] Native Americans. In the late 17th century, frontiersmen started to inhabit the area, including [[Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac]], [[Louis Jolliet]], [[Jacques Marquette]], [[Robert de LaSalle]], and [[Daniel Boone]], with the latter having the greatest influence on the region. Daniel Boone's son, Daniel Morgan Boone, would later lay out Jefferson City in the early 19th century.
-
-When the [[Missouri Territory]] was organized in 1812, [[St. Louis]] was Missouri's seat of government, and [[St. Charles, Missouri|St. Charles]] would serve as the next capital. However, Jefferson City was chosen as the new capital in 1821. The village first was called "Lohman's Landing", and when the legislature decided to relocate there, they proposed the name "Missouriopolis" before settling on the city of "Jefferson" to honor Thomas Jefferson.<ref>McMillen, Margot Ford & Murphy, Dennis. ''A to Z: The Dictionary of Missouri Place Names''. Columbia, MO. Pebble Publishing, 1996. {{ISBN|0-9646625-4-X}}.</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://shsmo.org/manuscripts/ramsay/ramsay_cole.html|title=Cole County, Missouri Place Names, 1928-1945 {{!}} The State Historical Society of Missouri|website=shsmo.org|access-date=2019-01-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404044019/https://shsmo.org/manuscripts/ramsay/ramsay_cole.html|archive-date=2019-04-04|url-status=live}}</ref> Over the years, the city was most often referred to as "Jefferson City" and the name stuck. For years, this village was little more than a trading post located in the wilderness about midway between St. Louis and [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]]. In 1825, the settlement was incorporated as a city and a year later, the Missouri legislature first met in Jefferson City.
-
-Jefferson City was chosen as the site of a state prison. This prison, named the [[Missouri State Penitentiary]], opened in 1836. This prison was home to multiple infamous Americans, including former heavyweight champion [[Sonny Liston]], assassin [[James Earl Ray]], and bank robber [[Pretty Boy Floyd]].
-
-During the [[American Civil War|Civil War]], Jefferson City was occupied by [[Union (American Civil War)|Union]] troops and the elected state legislature was driven from Jefferson City by Union General [[Nathaniel Lyon]]. Some of the legislators later reconvened in [[Neosho, Missouri|Neosho]] and passed an ordinance of secession. Missouri was claimed by both the Confederacy and the Union, as was neighboring state [[Kentucky]]. Missourians were strongly divided and many people in the state—especially in St. Louis—supported the Union, while other areas (such as Missouri's [[Little Dixie (Missouri)|Little Dixie]]) were strongly pro-[[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] along the [[Missouri River]] between Jefferson City and Kansas City.
-
-German immigrants created vineyards in small towns on either side of the Missouri River, especially on the north from the city east to [[Marthasville, Missouri|Marthasville]], located outside of St. Louis. Known as the "[[Missouri Rhineland]]" for its vineyards and first established by German immigrants in the mid-1800s, this region has become part of Missouri's agricultural and tourist economy.

-===Climate===
-Jefferson City has a [[humid continental climate]] (''Dfa'') with hot, rainy summers and cold winters. The city borders on having a [[humid subtropical climate]] but falls just short due to January having a mean temperature of {{convert|30|F}} which is below the {{convert|32|F}} isotherm. [[Thunderstorm]]s are common in both the spring and summer. Light snow is common during the winter, although about half of wintertime precipitation falls as rain.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://weatherspark.com/averages/30636/Jefferson-City-Missouri-United-States|title=Average Weather in Jefferson City, Missouri, United States, Year Round – Weather Spark|website=weatherspark.com|access-date=9 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131213234148/http://weatherspark.com/averages/30636/Jefferson-City-Missouri-United-States|archive-date=13 December 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>
