This page displays a sample image of every State License Plate, when clicked, will lead you to information about its State Capital.
Each Capital City is the center of government for it’s home state and is usually located in the State Capitol Building. The State Capital in each state is the political center of the state and is the location of the State Government, Legislature, and Governor’s office. Despite what you might expect, in many states the State Capital is not the largest city in terms of population. For example, in California, the most populous state of the United States, the Capital City of Sacramento is not even in the top 5 most populated metropolitan areas in the state, while the Capital City of Phoenix has the largest population in Arizona.
Most states have not changed their capital city since becoming a state, but the capital cities of their respective preceding colonies, territories, kingdoms, and republics typically changed multiple times. Ten of the thirteen original states and 15 other states have changed their capital city at least once; the last state to move its capital city was Oklahoma in 1910.
