Four U.S. State Capitals That Share Their State's Initial

Only four U.S. state capitals begin with the same letter as their state:

1. Annapolis, Maryland (A–A)
2. Augusta, Maine (A–A)
3. Boston, Massachusetts (B–B)
4. Dover, Delaware (D–D)

Near Misses & Trivia

• Honolulu, Hawaii (H–H) — but Hawaii is a state, not a "state capital" in the continental sense? No, Honolulu is the capital. Wait—this makes five!
• Correction: Honolulu, Hawaii is the fifth. The original list missed it.
• Others: Santa Fe (S–S? No, New Mexico), Oklahoma City (O–O? No, Oklahoma), Indianapolis (I–I? No, Indiana), Salt Lake City (S–S? No, Utah), etc.

Definitive List (5): Annapolis (MD), Augusta (ME), Boston (MA), Dover (DE), Honolulu (HI).
