The flag of Jefferson City, Missouri, is a horizontal bicolor of red and blue with a big outline of Missouri in the center split by 5 blue and white wavy stripes.

Symbolism[]
The red, white, and blue tricolor is inspired from the flags of Missouri and the United States. The dome of the state capitol identifies Jefferson City as the capital of Missouri. The 24 stars on the blue ring represent Missouri’s rank as the twenty-fourth state to join the Union. The wavy blue and white stripes symbolize the Missouri River.[1]
