Former Capital

[shbanta]

Which town used to be a former capitol?

Melbourne?

[kempie]

Melbourne is a city.

I would expect that a number of towns were once a 'capital' at some stage in history. Also, which part of the world are you particularly focussing on?

As an example, Colchester was the first Roman capital of Britain.

Canterbury I think but the Roman name for it,

Winchester also used to be the capital.

Bonn

[kempie]

Bonn is also a city - the 19th largest (by population) in Germany.

The town has to be in or around the USA and/ or Canada.

This should help in regard of the US...
