What is correct to say is the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands: Saipan, which is the name of an island, not of a town, or one of these four actual towns on Saipan Island; Chalan Kanoa, Capitol Hill, Susupe, or Garapan, which are all referred to by different sources as the "capital" of the islands?

Good question author. Most of the references I have found all tell me Saipan is the capital, but this one seems to be going for Chalan Kanoa. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0113959.html Jan 01 05, 7:21 PM

What is the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands? Don't say Saipan, that's the name of an island and not of a town/city. It seems as the capital is divided into two or three: Capitol Hill, Susupe, maybe also Garapan. Who knows? The island that the Komodo Dragon originates is in what chain of islands? In what islands was the TV show Gilligan's Island filmed? What are the "thousand islands" that Thousand Island Dressing is named for?
