Saint George Parish
Saint George Parish, Administrative parish in southwestern Grenada.
Saint George Parish is an administrative unit in southwestern Grenada covering an area of approximately 67 square kilometers and containing the national capital. The territory also includes the island's primary international airport.
The French established the first settlement in 1650 and named it Saint Louis, but the British renamed it Saint George's in 1763 when they took control. This shift marked a major turning point in the territory's development.
The Carnival celebration takes place in the second week of August, with parades and performances that mark the emancipation of enslaved people. These festivities shape daily life and draw visitors from across the island.
The area functions as the transport and port hub, with the central bus terminal and main port facilities operating here. Visitors should expect these areas to be busy during peak hours.
The harbor has a horseshoe shape created by an ancient volcano crater, giving the coastline a distinctive form. Many buildings surrounding the harbor feature traditional red-tiled roofs that characterize the urban landscape.
