Gouyave

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gouyave is the second-largest town in Grenada (behind the capital, St. George's), with a population of 3,378. It is located on the west coast of that island and is the capital of Saint John Parish, Grenada.

Originally called Charlotte town, it was renamed Goyauve because of its large amounts of guava trees. The town was the site of a large battle in 1795.
