The people of St Lucia are of African descent and speak English, which is taught in schools around the country. About 80% of exports are bananas and they mostly go to the United Kingdom.

However, the most photographed scenery in the island is the Twin Pitons. These are the peaks that serve as the major landmark, resembling two cones standing side by side. Being a small island, there are no natural or man made lakes.

Industry - The agriculture industry still plays a vital role to the economy, although tourism proves to be a very good source of income during the dry season. The other industries that are flourishing in St Lucia are related to transshipment and petroleum storage.

History - The Europeans were the first inhabitants. The Spaniards came in first but it is the French that created a permanent settlement in the island and developed it for cultivation. But when the French were beaten by the British during the war, they gained full control of the island. So aside from Carib labourers, they also sent African slaves to the island. That is the reason why the people here are mostly of African heritage.

Famous People - There are many famous St Lucians in the world over and these are George Alphonse, an actor, author, poet, and director; Michelle Baptiste, an athlete; Rufus Bousquet, a politician; and Didacus Jules, an educator.
