Annapolis is the capital of Maryland, and Baltimore is it's major city. The
capital of Delaware is Dover, but the largest city is Wilmington. Just a
note from a native of the Delmarva peninsula who has lived in both states.

(Delmarva -- constructed from DELaware, MARyland, and VirginA, the three
states with claim on the peninsula... I've been known to construct words
that way too. )
