Washington, D.C. has been the national capital of the United States since 1800.

From 1765 to 1800, Congress met in numerous locations; therefore, the following cities can be said to have once been the United States capitaL

Before joining the United States as the fourteenth state, Vermont was an independent republic known as the Vermont Republic. Two cities served as the capital of the Republic:

Westminster, 1777
Windsor, 1777-1791

The Confederate States of America had three capitals during its existence.

The Confederate constitutional convention was held in Montgomery, Alabama in December of 1860 because it was the largest and most influential city in the geographic center of the original seven Confederate states (South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas) that planned to secede from the Union.

The capital of the United States is Washington D.C..
.
D.C. stands for District of Columbia. The District of Columbia is a parcel of land donated to the federal government by Maryland on the banks of the Potomac river for the establishment of the federal city. The reason for creating this separate district for the capital was so that it is not within any one state.
Although technically in the south it is very close to the center of the original 13 states.
