For the record, it is NOT yet a goal of mine to visit the largest city and/or capitol city of every state but I'm curious as to how far I've gotten. How to define the largest city can be up to interpretation based on city proper population or the metro area as a whole. I may be wrong on a few of these but I'll give it my best shot. To qualify, I must have actually stopped in the city for a meal or walking tour. Driving past it on the interstate does not count. Here it is listing the capitol first followed by the largest city:
