Closest temple to each US State Capitol

Updated after April 2025 General Conference. Alabama Capitol: Montgomery Nearest Temple: Birmingham, Alabama temple Distance: 102 Miles Other temples in Alabama: Huntsville Alaska Capitol: Juneau Nearest Temple: Anchorage, Alaska Distance: ~850 Miles by car and ferry About 573 miles by air.  9.6 miles from the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport to the temple. Other temples in Alaska: Fairbanks (Announced) There are no roads that connect Juneau to the mainland of Alaska. Arizona Capitol: Phoenix Nearest Temple: Mesa, Arizona By a fraction of a mile, the Mesa, Arizona temple is closer to the state capital building than the Phoenix, Arizona temple.  This is the first capitol city on the list with a temple actually built in the city proper and not in a suburb.  Can you guess the others? Other temples in Arizona: Phoenix, Gilbert, The Gila Valley, Snowflake, Tucson, Flagstaff Arkansas Capitol: Little Rock Nearest Temple: Memphis, Tennessee Distance 154 Miles Other tem...

Possible next temple in each county in Utah

Updated after April 2025 General Conference Beaver County Temples: None (Cedar City Temple District) Stakes: 2 Possible first temple: Beaver Commentary: Once the church is more comfortable with small, part-time temples in rural Utah, Beaver will get a temple Box Elder County Temple: Brigham City Utah Temple Stakes: 11 Possible next temple: Willard or Perry Other possibilities: Tremonton Doesn't seem likely in the near future. Growth in Box Elder County will be in the areas south of Brigham City, hence Willard or Perry. Cache County Temples: Logan, Smithfield Stakes: 38 Possible next temple: Nibley/Hyrum Eventually: North Logan, Providence, Wellsville Possible in the near future.  Growth in the Cache Valley will be south of Logan.  The driver for population growth in Cache Valley is proximity to the Wasatch Front.  The Hyrum, Nibley, College Ward area seems to be where future growth will be. Carbon County Temples: Price (Announced) Stakes: 4 Possible next temple: None...
