Trivia: Which state capital is known as the “City in a Forest”?
Concord, New Hampshire
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Olympia, Washington
Atlanta, Georgia
The correct answer is Atlanta, Georgia
So why is this answer correct? : The Georgia capital is nicknamed the “City in a Forest” because nearly half of the city is covered by tree canopy, a substantially higher figure than other large U.S. cities. Pines, oaks, magnolias, and dogwoods — some dating back more than 200 years — dominate Atlanta’s urban setting, providing shade and filtering out pollutants.
