Driving Around Jefferson City, Missouri in 4k Video

Filmed on Monday, November 27 2023, I drive around Jefferson City, MO to see what's going on.
When the Missouri Territory was organized in 1812, St. Louis was Missouri's seat of government, and 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. Over the years, the city was most often referred to as "Jefferson City" and the name stuck.
The State Capitol of Missouri is located in Jefferson City.

Yep, and the fact that it's up on a hill makes it look even bigger in person, it's quite impressive
