Saint David, Trinidad and Tobago

Saint David is a county in Trinidad and Tobago which occupies 202 km2 (78 square miles) in the northeastern corner of the island of Trinidad. The main town in the county is Toco. It is bounded to the north by the Caribbean Sea, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by Saint Andrew and to the west by Saint George. County Saint David consists of a single Ward, Toco, although Tobago was formerly administered as a Ward of Saint David.
