Well, to begin, state capitols aren't always in the middle of states. However, there are a few. The reasoning behind placing a state capitol varies between states. Reasons for making a city a capitol have included safety, wealth, large population, moderate population, location on a body of water, and strategic location in wartime. Capitols that are located in the middle of states are probably there for one or more of the aforementioned reasons, not simply because they are located in the center of the state.
