Usually it was a logical progression from local destination to a central location. Looking at a map, notice how most of the state capitols are centrally located within the state. Trading routes were also a criteria because trade routes meant better roads. Since government is usually a part time occupation on the state level, it was important to have good roads to journey upon to get to the destination. For instance, the original capitol of Alabama was Cahaba. The capitol was moved to Montgomery when the city was flooded and when the course of the river that fed the town moved. This happened shortly after the state was granted statehood.
This varies based on your location. Usually the head of your local government is the Mayor or Commission Chairman.
Usually it's where the State Legislature meet, and it may have some executive offices as well. In some states like Alabama and North Carolina, the governor's offices are in the Capitol building but the Legislature meets somewhere else. In other states like Arizona and Florida, the Capitol is a museum only and the government offices are in newer buildings.
The levels are local, state, and federal. The local government is located in the community area, the state government is usually at the state's capital, and the federal government is located in Washington D.C.
