St Johns

Easternmost North American capital

St Johns is a place name appearing across the English-speaking world, most notably as the capital of Antigua and Barbuda and as a major city in Newfoundland, Canada (usually spelled St.

John's with the apostrophe).

The name honors Saint John, though which John—the Baptist, the Evangelist, or another—varies by location.

In the U.S., St Johns appears as neighborhoods, rivers, and counties: the St Johns River in Florida, St Johns County.

The spelling without periods or apostrophe is common in American place names.
