Adamstown

Remote Pacific village

Adamstown is a place name shared by several settlements.

The most notable is the capital of the Pitcairn Islands in the South Pacific, one of the world's smallest capitals with a population under fifty—descendants of the HMS Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions.

Other Adamstowns exist in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ireland.
