Constructed during the Georgian era on historical lava deposits near the then long-inactive Soufrière Hills volcano, the town was evacuated in 1995 when the volcano resumed erupting. Plymouth was eventually abandoned permanently in 1997, after it was substantially buried by a series of pyroclastic flows and lahars.
For centuries, it had been the only port of entry to the island. A new capital is under construction at Little Bay, with nearby Brades serving as the de facto capital for the time being.
