Saint Michael, Barbados
The parish of St. Michael is one of eleven parishes of Barbados. It has a land area of 39 km² and is found at the southwest portion of the island. Saint Michael has survived by name as one of the original six parishes created in 1629 by Governor Sir William Tufton.
The parish is home to Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados. Bridgetown is the centre of commercial activity in Barbados, as well as a central hub for the public transport network. Other major infrastructure in St. Michael is the international seaport of Barbados—the Deep Water Harbour. Therein, a number of cruise ships arrive and depart including various lines such as Royal Caribbean and Cunard. The harbour features several sugar towers for loading locally produced sugar into transport ships, and a tower for loading flour for transport.
Under Barbados' historic vestry system, the main parish church (St. Michael's Cathedral) is seated along St. Michael's Row in Bridgetown. This cathedral replaced the former parish church that was formerly located at the site of St. Mary's Church. St. Michael's Cathedral's was elevated to its cathedral status under Bishop Coleridge who arrived in Barbados in 1825 under the then newly established Diocese of Barbados and the Leeward Islands.
