Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Kingstown, capital and chief port of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, in the eastern Caribbean Sea. Located on the southwestern end of the island of Saint Vincent, the town overlooks Kingstown Harbour and is sheltered by Berkshire Hill on the north and Cane Garden Point on the south. The port has a cruise-ship berth, which was built to help develop the country’s tourist sector. Exports from the port include bananas, arrowroot, coconuts, sweet potatoes, plantains, yams, taro, and tannias (a root crop related to taro). The Botanic Gardens (1765), the oldest in the West Indies, received the first breadfruit trees brought from the Pacific, in 1793 by Capt. William Bligh. Pop. (2004) 13,044.
