Missouri became the 24th state on August 10, 1821.
Its civic life reflects the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, rural counties, agriculture, transportation, manufacturing, universities, and its history as a border state. Public decisions about schools, health care, roads, public safety, courts, water, and economic development can look different across the state’s urban, suburban, and rural communities. What follows connects that history to Missouri’s current representatives, state offices, and public records.
The welfare of the people shall be the supreme law
