Overview of Island
Grenada is a tristate country that includes Carriacou, Petite Martinique, plus many smaller nearby islands all governed by Grenada, (pronounced Gre-nay-da) the main Island and capital. Its nickname, ‘Spice Island’ is derived from that mixed spicy aroma that emanates from the very many nutmeg estates, where also can be found other spices such as cinnamon and clove.
Capital: Saint George's
Language: English, English Creole, and French Creole
Population: 111,454
Already inhabited first by the Arawaks then the Caribs, Columbus anchored in 1498, followed by other Spanish sailors who subsequently renamed the Island Granada (from Columbus' Concepcion') due to its lush green forests. The name was changed by the French and again by the British resulting in the present name of Grenada (Gre-nay-da). The Caribs resisted colonization for approximately 150 years leaping to their death over a cliff rather than submitting to the French. The British finally won control from the French in 1783 under the Treaty of Versailles.
The very profitable sugar plantation trade cultivated by the British and worked by imported African slaves was threatened by Julian Fedon, a black planter, who instigated a slave rebellion that regained control of the Island in 1795, but was eventually retaken by the British until slavery was abolished in 1834. Grenada finally became independent in 1974. Alas that was not the end of their troubles as in 1983 a coalition of American and Eastern Caribbean States’ forged a military intervention as a 'rescue mission' to end a 3 year coup attempt to make the Island a socialist/communist state.
In spite of very damaging hurricanes and some unstable governing over the years since then, Grenada has continued to develop overall under its re-established democratic order, focusing on its vibrant tourism trade which today serves it well.
