States That Start With P

States that start with P: only one US state does, Pennsylvania. The table gives each state's postal abbreviation, capital and largest cities, and the lists below show state capitals and US cities that start with P.

P has exactly one state: Pennsylvania. Many people guess Philadelphia is the capital because it is the biggest city, but the real answer is Harrisburg. Philadelphia is where the Liberty Bell is kept, and the city sits beside the Delaware River.

The name is long and has a double N, which makes it a good spelling word for older students. It breaks into easy chunks: Penn, syl, va, nia. If a game needs more P answers, the page also lists cities and other places that open with this letter.
