Grenada is an island in the Caribbean Sea, north of Trinidad and Tobago. The population is about 110,000 people. The government is a parliamentary democracy and a Commonwealth realm with the Queen of England as chief of state, represented by a governor general, and a prime minister as head of government. Grenada gained full independence in 1974.
The Carib Indians originally inhabited Grenada. The French occupied Grenada in the 17th century, and Britain took the island in 1762. Sugar production, and later cacao, was the base for the economy. In the 20th century, nutmeg became the main export and the island became known as the “Spice Island,” also producing cinnamon, cloves, ginger and mace.
Visitors to Grenada will appreciate the rain forests, hot springs, and beaches, as well as the city of St. George’s. Available activities include hiking, diving, snorkelling, exploring St. George’s, the Grand Etang National Park and Forest Reserve, or a short tour of the Gouyave Nutmeg Processing Station.
