The word for the red pole in the local tribal language was recorded as istrouma by the French. Istrouma is still the name of a high school, a Baptist megachurch, and other civic landmarks in the town.“Tribal” names for capitals of non-state territories of the US: Pago Pago, American Samoa; Hagåtña (formerly Agana), Guam; and Saipan, Northern Marianas Islands.

U.S. President James Monroe was a prominent supporter of the colonization of Liberia. That is why they named their capital, Monrovia. In 1824, the city was renamed to Monrovia after James Monroe, then President of the United States, and a prominent supporter of the colony in sending freed Black slaves to Liberia, saw it as preferable than emancipation in America. It is the only non-American capital city named after a U.S. President. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monrovia
What is the only state capital with a one-syllable name?
Pierre (capital of South Dakota) is pronounced like "pier", so it is one-syllable. All the rest have one or more syllables. This was actually news to me because I've always thought it was pronounced "Pea-air". Here's a snippet on Pierre, SD that I found on the web: "Pierre is the state's capital, and the easiest way South Dakotans can spot a newcomer is by how he or she pronounces the name. French students, don't be mortified, but in South Dakota the town of Pierre is pronounced “pier.” How this hazy pronunciation arrived is a mystery; one can only speculate that the ruggedly autonomous forefathers were trying to downplay the très français beginnings of the state—funny nonetheless, because it was indeed a Frenchman who started the first permanent white settlement in the state in 1832."
