Capitals of the U.S.

Nine different cities over the years have served as the capital of the U.S. The delegates could not decide what city was best fit for the capital, so it moved... a lot. The capital changed nearly every year. Lancaster, PA only lasted for 3 days! Eventually they came to the conclusion of D.C. in 1800, the reason for this was that it was accessible and central in relation to the country.
