Saint Peter Basseterre – the parish gathered around Monkey Hill
Saint Peter Basseterre is one of the fourteen administrative parishes that make up Saint Kitts and Nevis, and it lies on the main island of Saint Kitts. Its parish capital is Monkey Hill, a settlement whose name is known right across the island. Because the parish shares its name with Basseterre, the island's principal town, generations of residents have moved easily between village life and the wider life of the capital, and that closeness still shapes work, schooling and family ties today. Farming, small trades and the sea have all left their mark here. Members are warmly invited to add their own memories, photographs and family stories to this page, so the parish's history is written by the people who live it.
