The location was chosen to be the state capital in 1821 given it&#039;s central location for the state and it&#039;s access to the Missouri River. The city grew very gradually and was eclipsed by Kansas City, St. Joseph and St. Louis in size. During the American Civil War the city was occupied by Union forces, though most of the populace were sympathetic to the Confederate cause. During the war the Confederate government was in exile, but issued notes with Jefferson City as their location despite the fact that they did not control the city.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
