Well, why not? But if that doesn't work for you, you can have Illefarn's original capital at the site of Waterdeep as well, but simply note that it was destroyed by the Vyshaan and then rebuilt and renamed after the Crown Wars. There is no "right" answer to this query.

And in the absence of canon, there are no wrong answers, either.

Russia is a great example. Most of the country is on another continent from the capital.
