Histoire
Saint Vincent has a rich history influenced by indigenous Carib people and European colonization. The island was claimed by the French in the 17th century, later becoming a British colony in the 18th century, which shaped its cultural landscape.
The island gained independence in 1979, but remnants of colonial architecture and traditions remain. The volcanic activity, particularly from La Soufrière, has also played a significant role in shaping the island's geography and community resilience.
