Philadelphia was the first capital of the United States following the Declaration of Independence followed by Baltimore, MD; Lancaster, PA; and York, PA where the Articles of Confederation were drafted. York claims to be the first capital of the United States since the Articles of Confederation are the first time the phrase United States of America is used. Princeton, NJ; Annapolis, MD; and Trenton were also the capital. New York would not be the capital of the US until 1785. The last time the capital moved was to Washington, DC in 1800.
