Answer 2
There is much debate on who started the Umayyad dynasty. Most scholars attribute it to Mu'awiya I, the Muslim Governor of Damascus in 650 C.E. since he was the first to rule as Caliph and claim that his family had the right to rule the Caliphate. (This was opposed to the previously-used system of elections by leading officials.) In accordance with his claim, his son Yazid I succeeded him.
The reason Mu'awiya's place as the beginning of the Umayyad Dynasty is twofold. Firstly, the Rightly-Guided Caliph, 'Othman, was part of the Banu Umayya (the family of the Umayyads). This makes Mu'awiya the second Umayyad to be Caliph. Secondly, in order to claim legitimacy, Mu'awiya alleged the Mohammed had chosen his family to be the stewards of the Caliphate, citing several sources. This claim is a minority position today and was contested at the time as well (which is one of the main causes of the Fitna Al-Kubra - the first Islamic Civil War).
Damascus was the capital of the Umayyad Dynasty.
