Georgetown is the capital of
Ascension Island on the west coast of the island. It is strictly not a capital city as it does not fit the requirements on becoming a city in the UK (see
City status in the United Kingdom), but it is the capital town.The town is centred around St Mary's Church and the Exiles Club, which is on the site of the original Royal Marines barracks from the times of
Napoleon's exile to
St. Helena in the early 19th century. As well as the church, there is a pier, an athletics track, a small supermarket,
Royal Mail Post office, police station, hospital, dental surgery and a library. There is no school however and pupils must travel to
Two Boats Village, further inland.
