Saint Andrew Parish, Grenada – Grenville, once known as La Baye
Saint Andrew’s is the largest parish in Grenada, and its main town, Grenville, is the island’s second-largest town after St. George’s. Grenville was once known by its French name, La Baye – a reminder that Grenada was shaped by both French and British rule.
On the island’s east coast, the parish has long been a centre of farming and local trade, with its town serving the surrounding villages. Today Saint Andrew’s is a lively agricultural and market region with its own traditions and festivals. Written sources on its past are few, so your memories matter: share stories of your village, family and market days with the community!
