Count: 0 — No official U.S. state capital begins with the letter V. This list therefore returns no entries when limited to current state capitals (the seats of state government). Note that many U.S. place names do start with V, but none of the 50 state capitals do, so the letter V is absent from the current roster of state-capital initials.

Recognize that historical naming patterns explain the gap. Many capitals take names from presidents, local indigenous words, rivers, or Spanish terms, and relatively few honored people or common geographical words begin with V, making V an uncommon initial for official capital names. Consult authoritative sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau, official state government sites, and the National Governors Association to confirm. Consider close fits for related searches: Vandalia served as a former capital of Illinois, and several towns or county seats begin with V, but no current state capital, no U.S. territorial capital, and not even Washington, D.C. start with V.
