    Missouri has had three state capitals. Why?

    Question #75252. Asked by sjhodges825. (Jan 31 07 10:14 AM)

    		Most likely out of convenience.

    "When the Missouri Territory was organized in 1812, St. Louis was the seat of government. St. Charles served as the capital until Jefferson City was chosen as the new capital in 1821. In 1821 Jefferson City was known as Lohman's Landing."
