Despite being one of the greatest known cities of the world, New York City is not the capital of New York state. That honor belongs to Albany, New York. Albany is roughly 22 times smaller in area than New York City, and has only a population of roughly 97,000 versus New York City's eight million.

wel home come it was known morethan the capital
Wow, I didn´t know this. Very interesting, Adam. Kisses:)
I wonder what there's to do in Albany...
Well, fancy that.
Really!
Knew it, as I live close by
Never knew that
Albany looks smaller than Toledo, where I used to live. Can a city be smaller?
And very few people probably know this.
LOL...did not know this, and Albany is pretty close to us too!
I live in New York, so yep, I knew this one. :)
I thought NY had more than eight million.
wow,,high population
depends on what type of population is counted. Metro population counts are always off the charts.
Albany is a cool city. I like it there!
I thought it was NY for the longest while, but heard this last year, go figure.
I'll bet if you asked 8,000,000 random people what the capitol of New York state is, they'd say NYC! How funny! Central City was a serious contender for the capitol of Colorado, but Denver won out!
oh! never know that
i wonder what's the reason behind the little capital
I did know this thanks to having to learn all of the capitals in school. I would much rather visit NYC though!
Cool fact.
i always wondered why it was the capital instead of nyc.
