Santa Fe during the Mexican American War and although not truly a "city", the most significant capture of an objective without firing a shot was the Fort of Ticonderoga by Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold. Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill (Breed's Hill) battles had just occurred and the fort was away from those hostilities. The American forces crept up to the fort, entered it and captured the commanding officer of the garrison before he knew what was happening. The City of Trenton, was taken by a surprise attack, but there was fighting. The commander of the Hessian forces was shot and killed.
