state capital
Governor's home city
A state capital is the city that serves as the seat of government for a U.S. state or similar political subdivision.
State capitals house the legislature, governor's office, and other governmental institutions.
They aren't always the largest or most prominent city in a state—Albany rather than New York City, Sacramento rather than Los Angeles: We drove to the state capital to tour the capitol building.
