History
Howards Bluff is an early settlement near where Marion later was established, and served as county seat of Cole from 1820-22, before it was moved to Marion. Howards Bluff is also mentioned as the site of Jefferson City (as in The House On Howards Bluff about the executive mansion), and one reference says the competition for the new state capital was between Cote Sans Dessein and Howards Bluff with Howards Bluff winning.
