a state trial court.
Reason: Contract disputes between residents of the same state are generally matters of state law and are filed first in state trial courts. Federal courts would only have original jurisdiction if there's a federal question or diversity of citizenship (not present here), and appellate courts hear appeals, not initial cases.
