Formerly, the ''Town of Saint Michael'' the Greater Bridgetown area is located within the [[Parishes of Barbados|parish]] of [[Saint Michael, Barbados|Saint Michael]]. The ''Bridgetown'' port is located at {{coor dm|13|7|N|59|37|W|region:BB_type:port}}, on the southwestern coast of the island along [[Carlisle Bay, Barbados|Carlisle Bay]]. Parts of the [[Greater Bridgetown Area|Greater Bridgetown]] area lie along the borders of the neighbouring parishes [[Christ Church, Barbados|Christ Church]] and [[Saint James, Barbados|St. James]]. The present day location of the city was established by the [[Great Britain|British]] in [[1628]] following their settlement at [[Holetown|James Town]]. Bridgetown is a major [[Caribbean|West Indies]] tourist destination, and the city acts as an important financial, informatics and convention centre in the Caribbean region. ==Geography and climate== [[Image:Bridgetown2.jpg|thumb|left|Suburbs of Bridgetown with Harbour in the background]] The city of Bridgetown, and the wider Greater Bridgetown area occupy most of the parish of Saint Michael, an area which covers around 39[[Square kilometre|km²]] (15 [[Square mile|sq. mi]]). Bridgetown's centre was originally composed of a [[swamp]], which was quickly drained and filled-in to make way for city's early development. At the heart of Bridgetown is the Careenage and Constitution River. This body of water provides the city with direct access from medium sized [[yacht]]s or [[Pleasure craft|small craft]] [[boat]]s. Although moderately shallow, the Careenage slices Bridgetown into two parts. During the rainy season the Constitution River flows into the Careenage area and acts as an outflow for water from the islands interior [[storm drain]]age network. Flowing into the Carlisle Bay on the southwest coast of the island, the Careenage can be observed as a [[marina]] for boaters entering or exiting the inner basin located directly in front of the Parliament buildings of Barbados. Barbados has a tropical climate. {{-}} {| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%;width:100%;border:0px;text-align:center;line-height:120%;" ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080" height="17" |Month ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Jan ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Feb ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Mar ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Apr ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | May ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Jun ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Jul ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Aug ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Sep ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Oct ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Nov ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" | Dec |- ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" |Avg high °C (°F) | style="background: #FFFFCC; color:#000000;" | 28 (82.4) | style="background: #FFFFCC; color:#000000;" | 28 (82.4) | style="background: #FFFF99; color:#000000;" | 29 (84.2) | style="background: #FFCC66; color:#000000;" | 30 (86) | style="background: #FF8000; color:#000000;" | 31 (87.8) | style="background: #FF8000; color:#000000;" | 31 (87.8) | style="background: #FFCC66; color:#000000;" | 30 (86) | style="background: #FF8000; color:#000000;" | 31 (87.8) | style="background: #FF8000; color:#000000;" | 31 (87.8) | style="background: #FFCC66; color:#000000;" | 30 (86) | style="background: #FFFF99; color:#000000;" | 29 (84.2) | style="background: #FFFFCC; color:#000000;" | 28 (82.4) |- ! style="background: #99CCCC; color:#000080;" height="16;" |Avg low temperature °C (°F) | style="background: #FFFFFF; color: black;" | 21 (69.8) | style="background: #FFFFFF; color: black;" | 21 (69.8) | style="background: #FFFFFF; color: black;" | 21 (69.8) | style="background: #FFFFCC; color: black;" | 22 (71.6) | style="background: #FFFF99; color: black;" | 23 (73.4) | style="background: #FFFF99; color: black;" | 23 (73.4) | style="background: #FFFF99; color: black;" | 23 (73.4) | style="background: #FFFF99; color: black;" | 23 (73.4) | style="background: #FFFF99; color: black;" | 23 (73.4) | style="background: #FFFF99; color: black;" | 23 (73.4) | style="background: #FFFF99; color: black;" | 23 (73.4) | style="background: #FFFFCC; color: black;" | 22 (71.6) |- | colspan="14" style="text-align:center;font-size:90%;"|''Source: [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather] |} Record Temps for Bridgetown: '''Record High''': 33C (91.4 F) '''Record Low''': 16C (60.8 F) ==History== Although the island was totally abandoned or uninhabited when the British landed there, one of the few traces of indigenous pre-existence on the island was a primitive bridge constructed over the Careenage area's swamp at the centre of Bridgetown. It was suspected that this bridge was created by a people indigenous to the [[Caribbean]] known as the [[Arawak]]. Upon finding the structure the British settlers began to call what is now the Bridgetown area, ''Indian Bridge''. It is widely believed that the Arawaks were driven from Barbados to the neighbouring island of [[Saint Lucia]], during an invasion by another people indigenous to the region known as the [[Carib]]s. Eventually after [[1654]] when a new bridge was constructed over the Careenage by the British, the area became known as ''The Town of Saint Michael'' and later as ''Bridgetown'', and the final name stuck. Bridgetown is the only city outside continental North America that [[George Washington]] visited. (George Washington House, the actual house where he stayed, is now part of the [[Garrison Historic Area]]) From 1800 until 1885 Bridgetown served as the main seat of Government for the former [[United Kingdom|British]] colonies of the [[Windward Islands]]. During this period the resident [[Governor of Barbados]] also served as the [[Colonial heads of the Windward Islands|Colonial head of the Windward Islands]]. After the Government of Barbados officially exited from the Windward Island union in 1885, the seat was moved from Bridgetown to [[St. George's, Grenada|St. George's]] on the neighbouring island of [[Grenada]]. Barbados has been governed by the Barbados Labour Party''' (BLP)''' for the last thirteen years, commonly called the "Owen Arthur Administration". Prime Minister Owen S. Arthur was chosen from among leaders around the globe to deliver the William Wilberforce lecture on the 200th Anniversary of the Abolition of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Amongst the breathtaking landscapes, and the fresh look of the city; Barbados attracts many investors from various fields. The 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup tournament attracted thousands of visitors to the island and was a very prosperous event. The final match was played on Saturday April 28, 2007. ==The city== [[Image:Bridgetown1.jpg|thumb|Bridgetown Downtown]] [[Image:Bridgetown, Barbados, April 2007.jpg|thumb|250px|View from National Heroes Square, Bridgetown, Barbados, April 2007.jpg]] In the centre lies the main street of Bridgetown which is [[Broad Street, Bridgetown|Broad Street]] which runs directly through the centre of the city. Broad Street passes the Parliament Buildings and serves as the centre of city's shopping area. Another major traffic artery into the city is Bay Street (which turns into Highway 7) and leads toward the South Coast of Barbados and the Parish of [[Christ Church, Barbados|Christ Church]]. There are also other notable streets in Bridgetown, including: * Swan Street - which is parallel to Broad Street, to the north. * Roebuck Street - which leads towards Queens Park to the North, and East of Swan Street. -and- * Tudor Street - which comes from the north, intersects Swan Street and runs perpendicular to Broad Street. * The Spring Garden Highway, which lies to the west of the city, plays host to over 85,000 bystanders and participants in the annual Grand Kadooment Carnival Parade. ===Neighbourhoods=== *[[Belleville, Saint Michael, Barbados|Belleville]] *[[Cat's Castle, Saint Michael, Barbados|Cat's Castle]] *[[Cheapside, Saint Michael, Barbados|Cheapside]] *[[Fontabelle, Saint Michael, Barbados|Fontabelle]] *[[Garden Land, Saint Michael, Barbados|Garden Land]] *[[New Orleans, Saint Michael, Barbados|New Orleans]] *[[Pinelands, Saint Michael, Barbados|Pinelands]] *[[Strathclyde, Saint Michael, Barbados|Strathclyde]] *[[Weymouth, Saint Michael, Barbados|Weymouth]] *[[Whitepark, Saint Michael, Barbados|Whitepark]] ===Landmarks/points of interest=== * National Heroes Square (formerly [[Trafalgar Square, Barbados|Trafalgar Square]]) and Fountain Garden [http://www.funbarbados.com/Sights/S_trafalgarsquare.CFM] [[Image:Bridgetown barbados parliament building.jpg|thumb|Parliament Building]] [[Image:Bridgetown barbados nelson statue.jpg|thumb|Nelson Statue]] * Parliament Buildings of Barbados * The Cathedral Church of Saint Michaels and All Angels * The St. Mary's Anglican Church * The St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cathedral * [[Bridgetown Synagogue|The Jewish Synagogue]] * The Pelican Village and Craft Centre * Queen's Park * The Nelson Statue * The Barbados Museum * [[Kensington Oval]] (site of the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]] final) * Carlisle Bay Beach * Cheapside market * The Tom Adams Financial Complex * The Frank Collymore Hall of the Performing Arts * The Cathedral Plaza * The Cave Shepherd Department Store (No.10 Broad Street) * The Sagicor Building (lower Broad Street) * The Cheapside Gardens * The Red Light District * Sagicor Plaza * The [[Garrison Historic Area|Garrison Savannah and National Historic Area]] * The Hilton Hotel ===Attractions=== * Pierhead Development Complex ===Harbour=== The Bridgetown Port (or "[[Deep Water Harbour]]" as its also known) is the major port of entry for cruise and cargo ships docking in Barbados. The Deep Water Harbour lies a short distance across Carlisle Bay northwest of the Careenage Canal. Found along the Princess Alice Highway, and west of the city's centre around [[Fontabelle, Saint Michael, Barbados|Fontabelle]]. The Harbour port acts as one of the major shipping and [[transhipment]] hubs from international locations for the entire Eastern Caribbean. Recently the Bridgetown Port was dredged to allow safe access and berthing for the new league of "super cruise ships". The dredging project was completed in 2002 and the city can now host many of the largest cruise ships in the world. The port of ''Bridgetown'' also handles goods for the domestic needs of the island. The island's main exports of mainly agricultural products also make use of the harbour facilities. ''Bridgetown'' also has a smaller canal in the centre of the city, named the Careenage, a.k.a. "Constitution River". The Constitution River should not be confused with the Deep Water Harbour. The smaller Constitution River feeding into the west coast lies about a half kilometer south of the large harbour. The Careenage is just large enough for pleasure craft or fishing boats and has two main bridges near the city center which span the shallow Careenage. ==Society and culture== [[Image:High street Barbados.jpg|thumb|right|Colourful Bridgetown street]] Bridgetown serves as a principal centre of commercial activity in Barbados, as well as a central hub for the island's public transport system. Many of the [[Ministries and Agencies of the Barbados Government|ministries and departments]] of the island's government are located within the Greater Bridgetown area. The Public Buildings or [[Parliament of Barbados|parliament]], which stand at the heart of the city directly north of Heroes Square, house the third oldest continuous parliament in the [[British Empire|British Commonwealth]].

The [[Barbados Community College]] is located three miles east of the Central Business District in a suburb known as "The Ivy", while the sprawling campus of the [[Samuel Jackman Prescod Polytechnic]] is located just beyond the eastern limits of the city in a suburb known as "[[The Pine, Saint Michael, Barbados|The Pine]]". In addition, the city houses such distinguished secondary schools as [[Harrison College]], [[Combermere]] and The St.Michael School.
