Which city is the capital of Delaware?

• A. Denver
• B. Dover
• C. Dublin
• D. Detroit

Answer: (B)

Identifying a state's capital means knowing where its government sits—the city that houses the legislature and the governor’s office. For Delaware, that city is Dover. Dover is located in Kent County near the center of the state and has served as Delaware’s capital since 1777, chosen for its accessibility to the entire state. It hosts the Delaware General Assembly and the Governor’s Mansion, making it the seat of state government rather than the largest city in Delaware. Denver is the capital of Colorado; Dublin is the capital of Ireland; Detroit is a major Michigan city, while the state capital is Lansing.
