Old Road Town
Old Road Town is a historic west-coast settlement on St Kitts, defined by Old Road Bay and its place in the island's early colonial history.
Overview
Old Road Town lies on the west coast of St Kitts at Old Road Bay, south of Middle Island and northwest of Basseterre. Its shoreline position places it within one of the island's earliest settled coastal districts.
Today the town serves as a residential and parish reference point on the west coast, with daily movement tied to nearby villages, schools, and local services. The broader Old Road Area covers the surrounding corridor, while the town page stays focused on Old Road Town as a settlement.
Old Road Town is distinguished by its age, its bay-side location, and its association with some of the earliest phases of colonial settlement on St Kitts. Those factors give it a stronger historic profile than many other towns of similar size.
