Heh, I was giving **Sternvogel** a chance to chime in. I was contemplating serial killers, or name a different Springfield, with its population. Oh yeah, Trenton. ---

Nitpick: the category doesn’t say “capital cities of the 13 colonies when they became states.” As worded, it’s technically unanswerable, since colonies don’t have “state capitals”. So it’s reasonable to interpret this as “current capitals of the first 13 colonies to become states.” State Capitals of the original 13 colonies: 1. Boston 2. Kingston (Albany wasn’t officially named New York’s capital until 1797) 3. Trenton 4. Philadelphia 5. Providence ---
