Which state’s capital is NOT named after a President?
Missouri
Wisconsin
Mississippi
West Virginia
The state capital not named after a President is West Virginia’s capital, Charleston. In contrast, Missouri’s capital, Jefferson City, is named after Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. President. Similarly, Wisconsin’s capital, Madison, is named after James Madison, the fourth President, and Mississippi’s capital, Jackson, is named after Andrew Jackson, the seventh President. Charleston, however, takes its name from Charles Clendenin, the father of the city’s founder, George Clendenin, making it the only option without a presidential namesake.
Correct Answer: West Virginia
