See also Richmond, Concord, and Newark. I always thought it was a little odd that the East Bay has so many fake state capitols.
Other Bay Area "other ones": Dublin, Brisbane, Pittsburg (missing the "h), and possibly San Jose (though it's arguably more widely known than the capitol of Puerto Rico).
Weird honorable mention goes to Menlo Park, which actually came first. Oddly, the New Jersey community, famous as Thomas Edison's base of operations, was named after the Bay Area town.

Or should I say Arlington, VA, as the one in Texas has more residents.

San José is the capital of Costa Rica, but there are also many other cities around the world with that name.
