The Capital (also known as Capital Gazette as its online nameplate[1] and informally,[2][3] while the Sunday edition is called The Sunday Capital) is a daily newspaper published by Capital Gazette Communications in Annapolis, Maryland, to serve the city of Annapolis, much of Anne Arundel County, and neighboring Kent Island in Queen Anne's County. First published as the Evening Capital on May 12, 1884,[4] the newspaper switched to mornings on March 9, 2015.[5]

The company has moved headquarters seven times, including from 3 Church Circle to 213 West Street in 1948, to 2000 Capital Drive in 1987, to Gibralter Road after that, and to 888 Bestgate Road in 2014.[citation needed]

The Capital was acquired by The Baltimore Sun Media Group in 2014.[6]
