City-StatesThe first city-state founded was Uruk, also known as Urk. This was many times the capital of the Anciant Sumerian Civilization, and so was Ur. Ur was later founded, after Kish and Nippur. Back then, the Persian Golf was nearer to Ur, now it's further away. Lagash was later founded with Larsa and Akshak. The other City-states slowly came when Sumer took over most of lower Mesopotamia.
