Princes Town

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Princes Town is a town in south Trinidad. Originally founded as the Amerindian Mission of Savana Grande, the town was renamed after the 1880 visit by Queen Victoria's grandsons, Prince Albert and Prince George (later King George V). The population of the town itself is roughly estimated at just under 8,000.

Princes Town is located in south-central Trinidad, east of San Fernando, west of Rio Claro and north of Moruga. The town of Princes Town is the seat of government for the Princes Town Regional Corporation, and was formerly the seat of the County of Victoria. Consequently, it serves as the major administrative and commercial centre for a substantial area of south Trinidad.
