Jamestown, the capital and only town of St. Helena, is located in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean and is a British Overseas Territory. Founded in 1659, it is one of the oldest European colonial settlements in the southern hemisphere. Bounded by the steep "James Valley", the town's colorful houses line the coastline, combining 18th-century English architecture with a tropical feel. A historic site, Napoleon Bonaparte spent the last six years of his life here (1815-1821), and his home, Longwood, remains intact, attracting history buffs from around the world. Jamestown is also the economic and administrative center of St. Helena, with a population of about 600, and a small port that connects the island to the outside world. With its unique location and colonial heritage, it is an understated and fascinating jewel in the South Atlantic.
