Sunset in Grenada Island |
The island Grenada itself is the largest island;
smaller
Grenadines are Carriacou, Petit Martinique, Rhonde Island,
Caille Island, Diamond Island, Large Island, Saline Island and
Frigate Island. Most of the population lives on Grenada itself,
and major towns there include the capital St. George's,
Grenville and Gouyave. Largest settlement on the other
islands is Hillsborough on Carriacou.
The islands are of volcanic origin, and Grenada's inlands
are slightly mountainous, with several small rivers flowing
into the sea. The climate is tropical: hot and humid, and
Grenada occasionally suffers from hurricanes
The recorded history of Grenada begins in 1498, when
Christopher Columbus first sighted the island.
At the time of settlement the island was occupied either
by Island Caribs (Kalinago) or by their mainland cousins,
the Kariña. After a failed British settlement attempt, the
French purchased the island from the indigenous people
in 1650, which resulted in warfare with the Caribs of Dominica
and St. Vincent who feared losing their trade routes to the
mainland. The island was again ceded to Britain in 1783.
Grenada was made a Crown Colony in 1877. |
