Holetown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Holetown is one of the larger cities of Barbados, along with the city of Speightstown and the capital city Bridgetown. Holetown is located in the parish of Saint James.

Holetown is where the English landed for the first time in Barbados in 1635. This is comemorated by a plaque which erroneously records the date as 1605. Each February, the city celebrates their arrival with the Barbados Holetown Festival.
