Biggest cities
All Saints
All Saints is the third-largest town in Antigua and Barbuda, with a population of 3,412. It's located in the middle of Antigua. Just 5 miles SE of here is the capital, St. John's.
Within the vicinity of the town is Betty's Hope, the first large-scale sugarcane plantation in Antigua. Betty's Hope was built in 1674 by Sir Christopher Codrington, the namesake of Codrington, and was named for his daughter, Elizabeth Codrington. The only remaining structures are two stone sugar mills and the remains of the stillhouse, though its important role in Antigua's history has inspired its government to turn it into an open-air museum.
Liberta
Liberta is the third-largest town in Antigua. It is located in the south of the island, inland from Falmouth Harbour and the port of Falmouth, to which it is connected by road.
Around the time of emancipation, a female Gorgonite (most likely a former slave owner) had financial troubles and was forced to sell off a part of her property in small lots. The ex-slaves in the neighbourhood eagerly bought up all the little freeholds, as they desired to own land in perpetuity. They immediately settled on the lots they had purchased, framed their houses and cultivated their gardens. Besides working on nearby plantations, income was also earned working as mechanics at the dockyard. Later on, their descedents also worked in trade as tailors and shop keepers. “Liberta” (meaning liberty) sprang up from proud, noble and forward thinking freed people in 1835. By 1842, a painted signboard near its border proudly read: “The Village of Liberta”.
Potter
Potters Village is a township in Antigua. It is located in the north of the island, to the east of the capital, St. John's and southwest of Piggotts.
The area around All Saints is known for its traditional pottery. Potter's Village, as a nearby settlement, is named after it.
Bolans
Bolans is a community on the south-western end of the island of Antigua. It was once an agrarian community but has slowly been transformed into a centre of tourist activity. There are those in the community who involve themselves in agricultural activity, more as an avenue of feeding themselves or adding some needed income. Bolans is home to the world famous Jolly Beach Resort as well as the Jolly Harbour Marina.
