New York temporary from 1785-1790 then 1790-1800 Philadelphia was chosen
The U.S. capital has been located in three cities throughout its history: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which served as the temporary capital from 1790 to 1800; New York City, New York, which was the capital from 1785 to 1790; and Washington, D.C., which has been the capital since 1800. Washington, D.C. was specifically established to serve as the nation's capital and is located between Maryland and Virginia along the Potomac River.
The three locations of the U.S. capital in chronological order are: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which served as the temporary capital from 1790 to 1800; New York City, New York, where the capital was located from 1785 to 1790; and Washington, D.C., which became the permanent capital in 1800. Washington, D.C. was established specifically to serve as the nation's capital, with a design that reflected the ideals of the new government.
There were two national capitals in 1800: Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Philadelphia, the largest city in Pennsylvania, was the first capital of the US and was also the capital prior to the formation of Washington, D.C. in November 1800.
Philadelphia was the U.S. capital in 1800. It was used as the temporary U.S. capital until Washington D.C. was ready to handle being the U.S. capital.
The first capital city of the United States was New York City. It served as the capital from 1785 until 1790, during which time George Washington was inaugurated as the first president. The capital was later moved to Philadelphia for a brief period before being permanently established in Washington, D.C. in 1800.
Immediately after the American Revolution, the U.S. capital was located in New York City from 1785 until 1790. The Continental Congress met there, and it served as the temporary capital until the federal government moved to Philadelphia in 1790. This arrangement lasted until the permanent capital was established in Washington, D.C., in 1800.
Washington DC has been capital since 1800.
The former U.S. capitals include Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which served as the temporary capital from 1790 to 1800, and New York City, which was the first capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. Before these, several other cities served as capitals during the Revolutionary War and the Continental Congress, including Philadelphia (for the Continental Congress) and Baltimore. The capital was moved to Washington, D.C. in 1800, which remains the current capital.
