Amish, sometimes called Joetown, is a small place in Iowa, United States. It's not a big city or town with its own government. Instead, it's an "unincorporated community." This means it's part of a larger area called Washington Township in Johnson County.
Amish is also close to Iowa City. Because of this, it's considered part of the Iowa City metropolitan area. The community sits about 758 feet (231 meters) above sea level. You can find it on a map at these coordinates: 41°32′9″N 91°47′12″W / 41.53583°N 91.78667°W.
