There wasn't one. The five boroughs weren't consolidated into New York City until 1898. The Broncks (named after the Bronck family: it's plural because they are a family of more than one Bronck: The Broncks later got a respelling and became The Bronx), and Staten Island were all different cities of New York State. Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn belonged to the city of Brooklyn for a certain time until their consolidation into New York City where only then were they separated into boroughs / different counties. New York City has always been the capital of New York until Albany was chosen for it.
Kingston was the capital in 1777 and the first Capital of New York. The British burned it after their defeat at Saratoga. The Capital was then re-established at Albany in 1779.
