It all goes back to the Civil War. When the North & the South were 'split in two', each of them had their own capital. The North=Washington, D.C. (as it is now) and the South=Montgomery, AL. They then moved it to Richmond, VA. That's why most of the battles were fought in Virginia. Then after the Civil War, I bet they were proud and kept it as their capital in the end.
