Saint George's (Grenada, West Indies, Caribbean) / La capitale de Grenade, St George'sJan 21, 2012 History St. George's was built by the French in 1650. This is made apparent by the many red roofed houses in the city. After the Great Fire of 1771, most of the boarding houses on Granby Street were moved to Gouyave. On the 1st of November 1775 there were a Great Fire in the town of St. George's known as the Great Fire of St George's . 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 were 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 the capital of Grenada was discovered by Christopher Columbus on this third voyage in 1498, the island was relatively neglected until 1650, when it was purchased by the governer of Martinique. The French began their colonization with a series of skirmishes that ... 
West Indies Travel Doc Part 01Nov 03, 2011 Situated largely on the Caribbean Plate, the region comprises more than 7000 islands, islets, reefs, and cays. Also called the West Indies, since Christopher Columbus landed here in 1492 believing he was in the Indies (in Asia), the region consists of the Antilles, divided into the larger Greater Antilles which bound the sea on the north and the Lesser Antilles on the south and east (including the Leeward Antilles), and the Bahamas. Geopolitically, the West Indies are usually reckoned as a sub region of North America and are organized into 27 territories including sovereign states, overseas departments, and dependencies. At one time, there was a short-lived country called the Federation of the West Indies composed of ten English-speaking Caribbean territories, all of which were then UK dependencies. The Caribbean islands are an island chain 4020 kilometres (2500 mi) long and no more than 257 kilometres (160 mi) wide at any given point. They enclose the Caribbean Sea. The region takes its name from that of the Carib, an ethnic group present in the Lesser Antilles and parts of adjacent South America at the time of European contact. In the English-speaking Caribbean, someone from the Caribbean is usually referred to as a "West Indian," although the phrase "Caribbean person" is sometimes used. bbtv broadbandtv powerdocs west indies caribbean antilles world nature island vacation travel tour tourism history ancient discovery destination religion diverse landmark social culture ...
