Sedalia Area Guide

Life began for Sedalia as a town created for the railroad in 1860. Deeply rooted in its history, Sedalia still moves forward as it embraces the 21st century. The seat of Pettis County, Sedalia is located 90 miles east of Kansas City and 190 miles west of St. Louis, central located with easy access to the state capital of Jefferson City.

This makes it easier for modern day travelers to find their way to Sedalia, home of the Missouri State Fair since 1899 and Sedalia welcomes nearly 400,000 people every August. Enjoying the third largest state fairgrounds in the United States brings visitors from all over to play a part in Sedaliaâs unique place in the world.

With a shift from railroad based economics of the last two centuries, Sedalia has become an ever more diversified manufacturing and service city for the 21st century. New and expanding manufacturing companies continue to grow and to attract new satellite businesses to the area. Much of the surrounding area in Sedalia is farmland, offering beautiful scenery and connection to the roots of Sedaliaâs history while still moving forward. So much so that in 2006, Sedalia was honored as one of Missouriâs DREAM Initiative communities.

When you visit Sedalia, whether itâs at the peak of summer, or the just in time to enjoy the spring, youâll see redevelopment and the revitalization of its downtown and a growing, vital city that offers opportunities for newcomers and residents alike!
