Saint George Parish

Saint George Parish extends over 67 square kilometers of land, containing the national capital Saint George's and the Maurice Bishop International Airport.

The French established the first settlement in 1650, naming it Saint Louis, before the British renamed it Saint George's following their control in 1763.

The parish celebrates Carnival during August's second week with pageants and parades that mark the historical emancipation of enslaved individuals.

Saint George Parish maintains the central bus terminal and primary port facilities, serving as the transportation center for the entire island of Grenada.

The landscape features a horseshoe-shaped harbor formed by an ancient volcano crater, surrounded by buildings with traditional red-tiled roofs.
