• Culturally, St. Louis is considered by many the east- ern U.S. city that’s furthest west, while Kansas City is regarded as the western city that’s furthest east.

• Kansas City has more miles of freeway lanes per capita than any other U.S. metropolitan area with at least 1 million residents. • By some counts, the Show-Me State has more than 6,400 caves, earning the alternate label “The Cave State.” In the 1800s, some of those yielded saltpeter, a key ingredient in the manufacture of gunpowder.

• St. Louis is known as the Gateway to the West, and commemorated that distinction by setting the final pieces of the Gateway Arch in place in 1963. • Aunt Jemima pancake flour was invented in St. Joseph and in 1899 became the nation’s first ready-mix food sold commercially.

• The state capitol building in Jefferson City is the sixth in Missouri history. Previously, St. Louis and St. Charles served as capital cities. The current building was completed in 1917 after fires in 1837, and 1911 burned the previous structures.
