Saint Andrew Parish

Saint Andrew Parish is an administrative division in northeastern Grenada with Grenville serving as its main town. The area combines farmland, fishing communities along the coast, and a central market that functions as the commercial hub for the region.

This area was established by the French in the 1650s under the name Morne de Combat. It later received its current name under British administration.

The parish is known for its strong farming communities where people grow spices and crops that define local livelihoods. This agricultural heritage shapes how residents interact with the land and connect to their surroundings.

The market in Grenville operates regularly and is the best place to find fresh produce and local goods. Visitors should arrive early in the morning to see the fullest selection and most active trading.

Several fishing communities are scattered along the coastline, playing a long-standing role in supplying the local population with seafood. This fishing remains a daily economic activity deeply tied to Caribbean maritime traditions.
