What is Missouri first capital?

Answer 1

The capital of Missouri as a territory was St. Louis, and it was the de facto capital when Missouri became a state in August, 1821. However, the city of St. Charles, slightly NW on the Missouri River, can be said to be the first actual state capital: it served as the temporary capital from 1821 to 1826, while the new capital at Jefferson City was being built, farther inland on the Missouri.

The first state capital was in St. Charles, Missouri, from 1821 to 1826.

The territorial capital (from the Louisiana Territory) was in St. Louis, but in 1821 the southeastern part of the territory became the state of Missouri.

On gaining statehood, a new capital was built at Jefferson City, then called Lohman's Landing. The city was named for Thomas Jefferson.

The territorial capital was in St. Louis, but had moved to St. Charles by 1821, when the state was admitted to the Union. A new capital was built in the interior at Lohman's Landing, which was renamed Jefferson City.
