Sedalia

City and administrative headquarters of Pettis County, west-central Missouri, 93 km/58 mi west of Jefferson City; population (1990) 19,800. It is a trading and rail transport centre for a rich agricultural region, with railway workshops, meatpacking plants, flour mills, and many industries producing such products as glass, trailers, chemicals, and foodstuffs.
