Grenville, Grenada

Grenville, Grenada

Grenville is the second largest city in Grenada, after St. George's, and it is the capital of the largest Parish, Saint Andrews. Grenville is located on Grenville Bay, about halfway up the east coast of the Caribbean island of Grenada and is heavily involved in the agriculture export industry.

The city has a population of about 2,400 residents, with many more in the surrounding region. It serves as an economic and transportation hub for that part of the island, having the largest nutmeg-processing plant in Grenada. From the city's marketplace you can find minibuses (the common form of public transportation on the island) to areas all around the island. It is located near Grenada's first airport, Pearls Airport, which became disused when a new airport was built.
