Tips for learning the capitals

Start with the 17 capitals that are also their state’s largest city, such as Phoenix, Boston, Denver and Atlanta; most students already know them. Then tackle the famous cities that are not capitals: New York’s capital is Albany, California’s is Sacramento, Illinois’s is Springfield and Texas’s is Austin.

Watch for the look-alikes: Columbia is South Carolina’s capital and Columbus is Ohio’s, Charleston is the capital of West Virginia but not of South Carolina, and Portland is the capital of neither Maine nor Oregon. The state capitals quiz is a quick way to check progress.

Questions people ask

Which capitals do students most often get wrong?
Usually the ones that are not the largest city in their state, such as Albany, Sacramento, Springfield, Harrisburg and Olympia. In 33 of the 50 states, the capital is not the largest city.
Is there an answer key?
