Which state’s capital comes first in alphabetical order?
Colorado
Nevada
Iowa
New Hampshire
Fact: While Nevada is best known as the home of Las Vegas, its state capital is actually Carson City. Alphabetically, Carson City is ahead of state capitals Denver (Colorado), Des Moines (Iowa), and Concord (New Hampshire). Despite being the capital, Carson City is small—about 58 thousand residents—giving it the feel of a large town rather than a bustling metropolis. The city takes its name from the famed frontiersman and trailblazer Christopher “Kit” Carson, whose reputation in the American West helped shape the region’s early identity.
