St Lucia is part of the windward islands chain which forms the boundary between the Atlantic ocean and the Caribbean sea. Castries is the capital of St Lucia and is also the largest city on the island. The French founded Castries in 1650 naming it “carenage” which means “safe anchorage” in reference to the city’s deep water port.
Th actual name of “Castries” was adopted in 1756 in honour of Charles Eugene Gabriel de la croix due to the French establishing an agreement with the Caribbean natives that allowed for more European settlement on the island. In 1814 the British took permanent control of the island making Castries the major naval port in the region over the next three decades.
The port of Castries was one of the biggest harbours large enough to accommodate even warships though today it’s used to accommodate import and exportation of foods, machinery, household items etc
