Saint David is a town on the Southern shore of the Saint David Parish of Grenada, a Caribbean country comprising seven islands. Saint David's Parish is one of Grenada’s territorial divisions that stands out through a peculiar administrative detail; there is no major town in this region. Saint David, however, is one of the most famous locations due to its touristic potential.
The first inhabitants of this region and of the rest of the country were the Caribs. In the 17th century the French colonists founded their first settlement, and in the following century, the British colonists also started to occupy parts of the region.
