Saint Joseph in
Saint Joseph, known locally as St. Joe, sits on bluffs above the Missouri River in the northwestern corner of the state. In 1860, it was the starting point of the Pony Express, which carried mail 1,966 miles to Sacramento in roughly ten days. The Pony Express Museum on Penn Street occupies the original Patee House, which served as the company's headquarters.
During the late 19th century, Saint Joseph was a major meatpacking center. At its peak, the city rivaled Kansas City and Omaha in livestock processing. The stockyards closed decades ago, but the industrial infrastructure left behind has been repurposed in various ways. The city also claims a darker piece of history: Jesse James was shot and killed in a house here in 1882, and that house is now a museum.
Remington Nature Center and Krug Park provide outdoor recreation along the river corridor. Missouri Western State University enrolls about 4,500 students. The Kansas City Chiefs have held their preseason training camp at Missouri Western since 2010, bringing temporary national attention each summer.
