Directory of Jefferson City and Cole County.
THE CITY OF JEFFERSON.
By an act of Congress, approved March 6. 1820. or the admission of Missouri Territory into the nion as a State, four sections of land were granted y the Federal Government to the State for the pur- ose of locating their seat of government thereon. The Constitution of Missouri provided that no place honld be selected for the Permanent Seat of Gov- rument which was not situated on the banks of the lissouri River and within forty miles of the month of the Osage. At the first session of the Legisla- ure held in Missouri, after its admission as a State, m act was passed fixing the Permanent Seat of Government, and in the same aet the Legislature ac- 'epted, for the use and benefit of the State, the four sections of land selected by the Commissioners,
Among other wise provisions was a reservation for a park surrounding the Capitol Building and Governor's Mansion. It seems, with their limited opportunities for observation, almost a miracle that the committee for the selection of the location of the Permanent Seat of Government should have se- lected the most beautiful and by nature the most perfectly adapted spot in the State. This is true, however, as will be attested by all who have ob- served its beauties as compared with any other place of equal size in Missouri. The City of Jeffer- son is incomparably the most beautiful town in the State. In charms of natural location, modified, not altered, by man, it stands without a rival in the United States. It is built on lovely hills at whose

the act also stating that on the aforesaid sections a town should be laid ont, and the lots sold in such manner as should be prescribed by law. This act was approved December 31, 1821. By an act of the General Assembly, approved January 1, 1822, the town was to be laid out in at least one thousand lots, and the principal streets should not be less than one hundred feet wide; the other streets not less than eighty. On the first Monday in May, 1823, said lots were to be sold on the premises to the highest bidder, except such as would be reserved for public use. This act also stated that the town should be laid out as the Permanent Seat of Govern- ment, and should be called the "City of Jefferson."
base surges one of the largest and longest rivers on the Continent. From the head-waters of the Mis- souri River to where the Mississippi empties into the Gulf of Mexico, it is the longest river in the world. There is no more enchanting view than one from any part of the Capital City, of the end- less landscape of green surroundings, when viewed in connection with the turbulent waters of the Mis- souri. The glorious handiwork of God in nature has no greater attraction than the surroundings that are found in the City of Jefferson, which sets on a crown of hills overlooking this great water- way with a landscape whose shades of color are too delicate and varied to be depicted on the can-
