United States Map with Capitals

Here is a list of American capital cities that serve or have served as state capitals, country capitals, capitals of territories of the U.S., unincorporated U.S. areas capitals, colonial capitals, and Native American capitals.

Washington, D.C. (formally the District of Columbia), has been the federal capital of the U.S. since 1800. Each state of the United States of America has its own capital, as do various of its insular areas. Most U.S. states have not switched their capital since admission to the Union, but the capitals of their corresponding prior kingdoms, territories, colonies, and republics commonly altered many times. There are other governments in the present boundaries of America with their individual capital cities, like the Native American Tribal nations in the U.S., Republic of Texas, and other anonymous governments.

The map is a useful for teachers, students, geographers and even the layman who just wants to know the location and capitals of the US states.

The United States of America

The United States, which is located in North America, is the world’s fourth largest country. Covering an area of approximately 3,796,742 square miles, the United States is composed of 50 states and the federal district of Washington D.C, which is the capital of the country. Of these 50 states, 48 are contiguous and are located between the nations of Canada and Mexico. The other two states are Alaska and Hawaii. While Alaska is located in the northwestern part of North America, Hawaii is located in the mid-Pacific and is an archipelago.

Among these, Alaska is the largest state of the country. The state comprises an area of 665,384 square miles. Meanwhile, the state of Rhode Island, which is located in the New England region of the northeastern United States, is the smallest in terms of area. It covers an area of just 1,545 square miles.

Comprising a population of approximately 39,512,223 people, California is the most populous state of the country, while Wyoming is the least populous with 578,759 people residing in the state.

Delaware, which is situated in the northeastern regions of the United States, was one of the original 13 colonies that took part in the American Revolution. On December 7, 1787, Delaware ratified the Constitution, becoming the first state to do so. The past two centuries have witnessed many other states joining the Union and the most recent case is that of Hawaii. Hawaii was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959.

Capitals of United States

According to the Articles of Confederation, which came into force on March 1, 1781, the United States did not have a permanent capital. The cities mentioned below were those places where the colonial American congresses held their meetings. The current Constitution of the United States was ratified in 1787. The constitution bestowed upon the Congress the power to exercise ‘exclusive legislation over a district that was to the the United States government’s seat of power. This was to be after cession of particular states and the acceptance of the Congress.

The meeting of the first Congress took place at the Federal Hall in New York. The Residence Act was passed in 1790. As per this act, the the national capital was the be established at a place along the Potomac River. This place came to be known as Washington D.C. But for the next ten years, i.e.. until 1800, Philadelphia, was the temporary capital of United States and the meetings took place at the Congress Hall. On November 17, 1800, the Congress moved from Philadelphia to Washington D.C and formally convened in the new capital. Since then the Congress has held all its meetings in Washington D.C, except on two occasions. On July, 16, 1987, it met at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The occasion commemorated the 200th anniversary of the constitution’s ratification. On September 6, 2002, it met at the Federal Hall National Memorial in New York. It marked September 11 attacks first anniversary.

From 1754 to 1819, Congress met in numerous locations; therefore, the following cities can be said to have once been the United States capital.

US States and Capitals

The United States comprises 50 states and each state has a capital. The capital of each state serves as its seat of government and is home to many government buildings. Of these 50 states, 25 states have changed their capitals at least once. Ten states belong to the group of the thirteen original states. Oklahoma was the last state to change its capital. In 1910, Oklahoma moved its capital from Guthrie to Oklahoma City.

The ‘Capital Since’ column in the following table list the years when that particular city became the capital of the state.

Historical state, territorial, and colonial capitals

Many of the original 13 Colonies had their capitals captured or assaulted by the British at the time of the American Revolutionary War. State administration worked where and as they could. The New York City was captured by British army from 1776 to 1783. A same situation happened at the time of the War of 1812, during the time of American Civil War in various Confederate states, and at the time of the Pueblo Revolution of 1680 - 1692 in New Mexico.

22 state capitals have been a capital for a long period of time than their state has been a state, since they operated as the capital of a former colony, territory, or republic. Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, has been an administrative capital since 1630; it is the most aged continuously-operating capital in the US. Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, is the earliest capital city, having develop into capital in 1610 and disrupted only by the preceding Pueblo Revolt. An even much older Spanish city, St. Augustine in Florida, operated as a colonial administrative capital from 1565 until about 1820, for more than 250 years.

The table below consists the following facts and information:

The year mentioned for every capital is the starting date; the final date is the starting date for the heir except otherwise mentioned.

In some cases, capitals of historical administrations were outside of the present boarders of a state. (Those capital cities are mainly shown with the 2 letter abbreviation for the US state in which the previous capital is now situated.)

NOTE: For the first 13 states, formerly the 13 Colonies of Britain on the Atlantic coast, the year of admission to union is shown as 1776 (US Declaration of Independence) instead of the following year each state approved the 1787 US Constitution.
