What is the capital of the U.S. State of Iowa?
Admitted to the union on December 28, 1846 Iowa was 29th state to join the United States of America.
The capital of the State of Iowa was originally located in Iowa City, Iowa as of May 4th, 1839 (Iowa still being considered a U.S. Territory at the time). This remained the seat of government until November 6th 1857 at which time the capitol was changed to Des Moines.
The origin of Des Moines, Iowa was that of a U.S. Army fort on the Des Moines river. The town of Fort Des Moines became incorporated on September 22nd, 1851 and abbreviated its name in 1857.

That's Capital not Capitol

Capital is the city. Capitol refers to a building.

Ask for the "Capital". The "Capitol" is the building in Washington, DC.

johnespo, anyone who paid attention in geography in school knows the answer to this one, so there is nothing outstanding about it. I will cease ragging on you when you stop shaming your ancestors and current culture, AMIGO.

Please, learn to delineate between Capital and Capitol. Capital is assets, as in Capital Gains. Capitol is the governmental seat of each state. Michigan's is Lansing. Just want some clarification between the two. THANKS!!
