Pointe-à-Pitre, Port city in Guadeloupe, France.
Situated on the western coast of Grande-Terre island, Pointe-à-Pitre extends across 12.66 square kilometers at sea level with substantial maritime infrastructure.
The establishment of Pointe-à-Pitre in 1764 by Governor Gabriel de Clieu required extensive drainage works to transform the original swampland into habitable territory.
The Mémorial ACTe and Musée Schœlcher preserve and present the Caribbean heritage through extensive collections of historical artifacts and educational exhibitions.
The city functions as the economic center of Guadeloupe with multiple governmental offices, commercial districts, and educational institutions serving the local population.
Three distinct administrative cantons divide Pointe-à-Pitre, creating separate jurisdictions within the city boundaries while maintaining unified municipal services.
