Carib’s Leap
In 1650 a french expedition from Martinique landed on Grenada receiving a friendly welcome from the inhabitants. Eventually relations soured. The French then bought in reinforcements and overthrew the population. Look for Sauteurs, the parish capital of St. Patrick’s on the north coast. Caribs’ Leap in Sauteurs was named after this episode when over 40 Caribs, cornered by the French, leapt to their death rather than surrender.
