America's 10 Smallest State Capitals

New Hampshire is the country's fifth-smallest smallest state, with an area of 9,349 square miles.

The Granite State fares a bit better in terms of population, ranking 41st overall, but still doesn't fit any traditional definition of a "large" state. Manchester is its largest city (population 116,000), while its capital, Concord, boasts a population of just 44,000. First settled thousands of years ago by the Pennacook peoples, it was incorporated as Rumford by Captain Ebenezer Eastman in 1733 and renamed in 1765 following a boundary dispute with neighboring Bow. The name was a reflection of the two settlements putting aside their differences. With a central location along the Merrimack River, Concord was named New Hampshire's capital in 1808.
