Kapeampa

Kapeampa is a town and municipality in the northern coastal region of Varadia, a fictional country. It lies along the Kapeampa River and a natural harbor, close to a protected mangrove reserve. The area has a temperate maritime climate with mild winters and warm summers, and annual rainfall concentrated in the wet season.

The settlement originated in the 17th century as a fishing hamlet and developed into a municipality in the 19th century. It grew through fishing, agriculture, and later small manufacturing. The town experienced modernization after mid-20th century infrastructure investments, including port improvements and road upgrades.

As of the latest census, Kapeampa has around 8,000 residents. The municipality is governed by a mayor and a seven-member town council elected for four-year terms. Local administration focuses on fisheries management, land-use planning, and public services.

The economy centers on fishing, shellfish farming, and agriculture, with growing support from tourism and crafts. The harbor accommodates small commercial vessels, while a weekly market serves nearby rural communities.

Kapeampa hosts an annual Sea Festival celebrating fishing traditions, with a crafts market, music, and street foods. Notable sites include the old harbor lighthouse, a colonial-era church, and a coastal boardwalk.

The town has a primary school, a secondary school, and basic health clinic. Public transport connects Kapeampa to neighboring towns; a regional road links it to the national highway network.
