Key Historical Fact to Know:
The name Saint Vincent originally applied to the mainland and the group of smaller islands associated with it. After the attainment of independence in 1979 the multi-island state was renamed Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The island’s two highest peaks are both on the volcano Soufrière in the north, which erupted disastrously in 1812 and in 1902, seriously affecting the country’s agriculture and temporarily displacing residents of communities around the foothills of the volcano. The 1902 eruption coincided with that of Mount Pelée on Martinique. Soufrière became active again in 1979, repeating the cycle of agricultural damage and massive evacuation. The volcanic ash, which spread as far as Barbados, is said to have enhanced the fertility of the soil. The La Soufriere Volcano has erupted once again on April 9, 2021. The suavity and damage of this most recent eruption is not yet known.

There are 32 islands that make up the country of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines but only 9 of these islands are comprised of their total population which is approximately 110,700 as of 2020.
