There's two. The one with the witch trials (Massachusetts) and the capital of Oregon.

This would explain it.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Providence- there's another one I know from the movies, ie. Dumb and Dumber

I knew Bismarck from The Simpsons.

The capital of North Dakota is named after which German leader?

Hitler!

I would have said Ithaca for NY, who knows why.

Is Boston legit the only major city that is the capital as well?
/And Atlanta, Georgia?

Phoenix, and I guess Indianapolis and Honolulu count.

 

[Shell]

I can name two- Anchorage and Brown Town

 

[phantom13]

Anchorage (which i thought was the captial) Kodiak and Mystery (which i dont think is a real place?)

Serious question is that a state?

 

[Shell]

Serious question is that a state?

Is the District of Columbia considered a state?

Washington, DC, isn't a state; it's a district. DC stands for District of Columbia. ... Congress established the federal district in 1790 to serve as the nation's capital, from land belonging to the states of Maryland and Virginia.

 

[Shell]

Why is the District of Columbia not part of the United States?

The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress; the district is therefore not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself).
...

Washington, D.C.
Consolidated	1871
Home Rule Act	1973
Named for	George Washington, Christopher Columbus
