DC isn't in the centre of a state though.
Indianapolis and Columbus are good examples (even if Columbus isn't quite the largest metro in Ohio yet - today I learned that that's actually Cincinnati, which I'd always assumed was the 3rd city...). Austin and Tallahassee work as examples as well, but both are still overshadowed by multiple other cities in their respective states with locations that are a bit more strategic than just being in the centre.
