the first capital in Iowa was actually Burlington, but at that time, Iowa was part of the Wisconsin territory, which made Burlington a territorial capital.

I had a wonderful grandma. She played games with me when I was young to teach me state capitals and the locations of the states. Made learning fun.
it's interesting to know the origins of the capitals.
