Liberty

Liberty lies on rolling uplands north of the Missouri River, where Clay County’s suburban streets meet a landscape of parks and wooded creek corridors. As the county seat, it has a compact historic downtown centered on the courthouse square and a long civic role in the Kansas City region. William Jewell College, founded in 1849, gives the city a distinctive academic presence. Liberty is also home to the Liberty Jail Historic Site, commemorating the 1838–39 imprisonment of Joseph Smith and other Latter-day Saint leaders.
