In honor of National States and Capitals Day on September 22nd, let's take a quick tour through the United States and its capitals. There are 50 states in the U.S., each with its own unique history and character. The capital of a state is often a major city, but not always the most populous. For example, the capital of California is Sacramento, not Los Angeles, and the capital of New York is Albany, not New York City. Knowing the states and their capitals is a fundamental part of learning about the U.S. It's not just about memorization; it's about understanding the geographical and political landscape of the country. So, next time you're planning a road trip or just looking at a map, take a moment to appreciate the history and significance of these important cities.
