Huh?
Juneau is a small town, about 32,000 population.
Many capital cities are larger.
Area
3000+ sq mi, because it’s a unitary city and borough
Alaska holds the top 4 largest cities by area in the USA.
1 Sitka Alaska
2 Juneau Alaska

“Huh?”
I was being tricky like a Stave jigsaw puzzle!
It’s true if you evaluate by AREA.
numberonepal’s post 1,651 is very true.
Montana (where I live) boasts #7, Anaconda and #8, Butte.
Butte currently has a population of approximately 35,000 however near the end of the 19th century it had over 100,000 people...
Have a wonderful summer!
