Gros Islet (English: Large Island) is a community near the northern tip of the island country of Saint Lucia, in the Gros Islet Quarter. Originally a quiet fishing village, it has become one of the more popular tourist destinations in the country.
History
Originally settled by the Carib (and possibly Arawak), the area was first identified as Gros Islet in a French map from 1717.
The community was a Roman Catholic parish, and the first priests who arrived on the island settled in the village in 1749
In 1778, the Anglo-French War broke out between France and Great Britain. As part of the conflict, the British Royal Navy captured the island of Saint Lucia and built a naval base at Gros Islet Bay in 1782, temporarily changing the name to Fort Rodney. The island has changed hands between the British and French throughout its existence.
Between 1991 and 2001, the population rose 54%, the biggest increase in the country.
In 2001, the population of Gros Islet was 19,409, making it the second-most populous community in Saint Lucia, up from 13,505 in the 1991 census and 10,164 in the 1980 census.
