For what it is worth, most US states are divided into counties and each county has its own law enforcement (county sheriff), court system, and an elected board of supervisors. In the counties and states I am familiar with the main offices and meeting location for the board of supervisors is in the "county seat". So "county seat" sounds pretty much like a capital city to me.
