Cole County, Missouri was named, in 1820, in honor of Capt. Stephen Cole, who erected Cole's Fort where the town of Boonville now stands, during the War of 1812, as a protection against the British Indians or allies. The county seat is Jefferson City, which is also the State Capitol of Missouri.  More History
