The United States Political Map consists of fifty states and a federal district. The 48 contiguous states and the federal district of Washington, D.C. are positioned in central North America between Canada And Mexico. The counties, however, are not sovereign. The biggest state in the USA is Alaska, while the smallest is Rhode Island, in terms of area.
These Capital And Main Cities of the State Vary in size, and some are very large when compared to other, small capital cities, but all are important to politics. State capitals are home to the offices and meeting places of state governments. All current state capitals were established by 1910. Most states have moved their capital city at least once.
US Map With Capitals
States selected their capitals for a variety of reasons, including the presence of a large population; a desire to drive settlement and economic growth to an area; historical significance, such as the first area settled; or perceived safety from historical military threats.
