Saint Luke Parish

Saint Luke Parish is an administrative division on the southwestern coast of Dominica, with Pointe Michel serving as its main settlement. The area stretches along the coastline and includes the surrounding communities and coastal regions.

The parish was established in 1850 during an administrative restructuring of Dominica and designated as one of ten administrative divisions. This arrangement shaped the island's administrative organization that continues today.

Pointe Michel serves as the central gathering place for the 1,668 residents who maintain local Caribbean traditions through community activities.

The region operates in the UTC-4 time zone and borders Saint George Parish to the north and Saint Mark Parish to the south. This location makes it easy to reach neighboring administrative areas.

With just 7.8 square kilometers, Saint Luke stands as the smallest parish in Dominica, featuring a single settlement within its boundaries.
