    State capitals and capital cities by state
      Each of the current state capitals is marked in bold.
      Territorial capitals (prior to statehood) are marked in italics.
      The year listed for each city is the starting date; the ending date is the starting date for the successor unless otherwise indicated.
      Most of the original Thirteen Colonies had their capitals occupied or attacked by the British during the American Revolution, the longest instance being New York City; state governments operated where and as they could. To some extent, this also applies to Southern states in the American Civil War. Neither of these are listed explicitly.
