Saint David Parish

The parish spreads across rolling hills with coastal areas and small fishing villages dotting its southeastern border. The landscape remains largely rural with scattered settlements and no large urban center.

The area originated from a Catholic parish called Megrin, founded by French settlers in 1721. It became one of six original churches established across Grenada by 1747.

The communities here maintain traditional fishing practices and grow nutmeg and cocoa as main crops, shaping daily routines. These activities are woven into local identity and define how people relate to the land and sea.

The area is accessible by main coastal roads, with local services scattered across small towns. Basic infrastructure spreads through the villages rather than concentrating in a single location.

It stands as the only parish in Grenada without a central city, earning it the local nickname 'The Virgin Parish' among residents. This name reflects how the area has kept its rural, undeveloped character.
