Clarification: There Is No "Capital of Arizona California"

The premise is incorrect. Arizona and California are two separate U.S. states—there is no single entity called "Arizona California" and therefore no capital for it.

Correct Capitals

Geographic Relationship

• Arizona borders California to the east (Colorado River forms much of boundary)
• Phoenix → Sacramento: ~750 miles (1,200 km) by road; ~1.5 hours by air
• Time zones: Arizona (MST year-round, no DST) vs. California (PST/PDT)

Common Confusion Sources

• "Arizona, California" as adjacent items in lists
• Shared border region (Yuma, AZ / Winterhaven, CA; Parker, AZ / Earp, CA)
• Colorado River as shared feature
• Historical: Arizona Territory created from western New Mexico Territory (1863), not California

If you're traveling between the two capitals, Phoenix (Arizona) lies roughly east-southeast of Sacramento (California).
