INDEPENDENCE SQUARE

“INDEPENDENCE SQUARE formerly Pall Mall Square, was renamed on the 19th September 1983 to commemorate the birth of the new nation of St. Christopher and Nevis. It is located on the eastern side of Basseterre bordering on Newtown. Its layout was designed to look like a Union Jack and the streets and houses surrounding it once dated to the mid-eighteenth century. Unfortunately, time and environmental damage have destroyed many of them. Some like the Court House and Public Library have been destroyed by fire and have been rebuilt.

The Square started its life as a pasture on the edge of town. A map of 1714 by Peter Bour, a French Surveyor whom the British employed when the French lands were being sold, shows a pasture just east of Fort Street with houses only on its western side. General William Mathew, who headed the Commission for the sale of the French Lands in 1728 had intended that the Pasture would have been kept for public use. However there was disagreement as to how this should come about.”
