Summary
Article in which Mr. Loose of Lancaster,Pa. challenges the claim of York County that York was the first capital of the United States since the Articles of Confederation were adopted while the Continental Congress was in session there. The Congress had moved there when the British captured Philadelphia during the American Revolution. Some residents of Lancaster believe that Lancaster was the capital of the United States for the one day it spent there before moving on to York. Loose explains his reasoning that neither city was ever the capital.
