And just for fun, as many as possible until I get bored:
Augusta, Concord, Montpelier, Boston, Hartford, Providence, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boise, Sacramento, Portland, Lincoln, Kansas City, Tallahassee, Atlanta, agh I give up I’ll finish later
Because I’m not a moron, yes. I know all the capitals, anyway, just not mine.
Helena, MT. but soon to be Harrisburg, PA!
I know all 50 state capitals… How on Earth could someone live in a state for more than, say… two weeks, and not even know the state capital????
Harrisburgerrrr. See? I’s smarts.
sacramento. and if you don’t know, you shouldn’t graduate from high school.
@xWaltzAlyssax - my best friend lives there! i grew up in jackson. Little Rock for this time.It was Jefferson City before. [[ shit I had to look that one up, I thought St, Louis was capital?!] One before that, Lansing!
Lansing. I can name most state capitols. I learned them all when I was a kid.
Indy…duh!
Lol, I live in it, so I’d hope so.
I !!!!
St. Paul.
Austin of course and I used to know them all -when the boys were little we used pictures to remember the state capitols-pictures in our minds and it was great fun.
my 42 yr old niece came to stay a month and by the end of that time she knew them all,too.
raleigh!
@xThexGodfatherx - I knew it before I looked at yours.lol of course! I took Texas History and infact at the estate sale i saw my old teacher saturday
I lived in Kansas for 9 months about 9 years ago. The capital is Topeka. I suppose the question doesn’t really apply for me since I’m not American, though.
Madison
Yup.
Raleigh,NC Honolulu Hawaii. The only two states i’ve ever lived in.
Umm…Oklahoma City, although it was almost Tulsa.
How could anyone not know their own state’s capital?
Mine is Springfield, IL. Have known that since early elementary school.
Hell, you give me the capital, I’ll give you the state!
Nashville
Lansing is the capital of Michigan(actually ‘M’ is the capital of Michigan,but Lansing is the capital city!)
Salem, Oregon
Sacramento!
Are there seriously people who don’t know this?
Springfield and Concord, depending on what you consider my state. I know most of the state capitals though, thanks to 3rd grade.
My county capital is Nottingham and the capital of England has been London since the Norman conquest (before then it was Winchester)
OH YEAH.
Trenton, obviously. I’ve known that since I was 4. Why would anyone not know their state capital? Heck, in elementary school I used to know all of them. Remember that song? Montgomery, Alabama, and .. you get my point!
Augusta! And during the school year i think it’s Montpelier? Haha.
I’m not American so it’s easier for me
st paul.
Belgrade
Trenton. I know all 50. If someone didn’t know their state’s own capital that would be slightly pathetic.
Jeff City, MO.
Springfield. Only because we took a boring ass trip there in 8th grade
I would, except I don’t live in the States.
Austin!
Austin Texas!
Sacramento! I better know…I live right outside of it. Hahah.
Grew up in New York (Albany) Attend college in Maryland (Annapolis)
Albany, New York… I don’t know very many though.
I just love and admire the responses of those who know all 50 by heart. In the distant 1950′s, we were given the unspoken impression that this skill would be the key to a successful life in the Future. *Helena, oh Helena, if I forget thee Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth.* And Dan, your survey here is, as you likely know, flawed. You’d need to accost Xangans at random on the street, sans Google, the true, victorious ‘World of da Future’
Des Moines!
Used to be Oklahoma City.
Pierre! Pronounced “Peer”, for some reason.
Jakarta
Oklahoma City
Yes.
Yes. Baton Rouge. I expect many people (who live in other states) think it’s New Orleans, but you’d have to live in the northern reaches of the state to live in Louisiana and still think that.
Bitching about the Mayor and the Governor might as well be this city’s official hobby. And to do that you have to know the difference between the two.
Trenton. Harrisburg. (representing from both my states).
But I’m a teacher, so it shouldn’t count.
Trenton =)
that’s an easy one, the capitol in Kansas is K.
Topeka. if people don’t know the capital of their own state, then they have some issues.
sacramento.
in elementary school i knew the capitals of all the states. it’s been about a decade, but i still remember most.
Atlanta! Go there every once in a while since we live a little over an hour away; I know a few capitals of a few states around me and those I’ve visited but honestly, I’d have to look up most of them!
formerly columbus, now i believeee springfield? i’ve only lived in illinois for like a month, don’t hate
Um, duh, I live in it!
Ummmm yes….Raleigh.
I live in the United Kingdom, England so I can name the capital London.
Do people seriously not know theirs though? Isn’t that something mandatory to learn in like the 5th grade?
Lansing.
Originally, it was Fort Wayne (where I live), but it was later changed (and currently is) Indianapolis.
Of Course! When I was little I used to think that the biggest city in the state shoulda’ been the capitol….
Harrisburg!
we used to play a game trying to name all the state capitals..and yes, Indianapolis
When I was in elementary school, I had to learn ALL the states and their capital cities. How many people, I wonder, know their state history well enough to identify previous capitals? The first capital of Texas, for example, was the frontier village of Washington-on-the-Brazos. Then it was briefly Houston until it moved permanently to the less mosquito infested climate of Austin! Here’s a question. What was the territorial capital of Utah, for whom was it named and why?
sacramento
@Art_Is_War423 - I have no idea where that is. Haha. New York, NY???
I think you already asked this. and I still do remember.

Not only do I know the capital but I’ve toured my states capital building.
Sacramento is a nice city.
0.0 Who doesn’t know that? Columbus, used to be Zanesville, long ago.
And for the state in which I was born it’s Raleigh. I probably know about half the state capitals without brushing up.
I know the capital of everystate w/out looking it up.
