When you create polygons by hand, the centroid ends up over the last point 
digitized. There are two ways to correct this. You can make the polygon 
editable, then select it, and from the Objects menu choose Convert to 
Polylines, then Convert to Polygons. The other way to do it is to use the 
Layer Control to make the layer editable and also click on the Display 
button, and check 'show centroids.'  After clicking on OK, then select 
the (editable) polygon and click the reshape tool. Now you can grab the 
centroid (it's the blue node) and drag it where ever you like.
