HistoryEdit
St. George’s was built by the French in 1650. This is made apparent by the many red roofed houses in the city. On the 1 November 1775 there was a fire in the town of St. George’s known as the great fire of St George’s. After the great fire of 1771, most of the boarding houses on Granby Street were moved to Gouyave.
Following the withdrawal of Bridgetown, Barbados, in the mid-1880s, St. George’s went on to become the replacement capital of the former colony of the British Windward Islands.
The Tikal was the first art cater shop in Grenada and it was opened in December 1959. In 2004, St. George’s and the rest of Grenada was severely battered by Hurricane Ivan. The hurricane left significant destruction across the island and crippled much of the island’s infrastructure. It was estimated that some 90% of the island’s homes had sustained damage and the nutmeg trees, which are key to Grenada’s economy, were devastated. A year later with the help of international donors (Canada, the United States, and the European Union) Grenada had experienced a significant turn around in rebuilding efforts. By 2007, Grenada had participated as planned in the hosting of the 2007 Cricket World Cup.
Though St. George’s was discovered by Christopher Columbus on this third voyage in 1498, the island was relatively neglected until 1650, when it was purchased by the governor of Martinique. The French began their colonization with a series of skirmishes that virtually exterminated the island’s native Carib population. The survivors were pushed north to Le Morne des Sauterurs, where rather than surrender they jumped off the cliff to the jagged rocks below[citation needed]. Today the site of the Carib defeat is known as “”Carib’s Leap.”””
