Saint Paul Capesterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis

Saint Paul Capesterre (known locally as Saint Paul's) is a town in the parish of Saint Paul Capisterre on the island of Saint Kitts, and the largest village in the Capisterre region. The village was a major source of labour for the Saint Kitts sugar industry, in which most of the villagers were formerly employed. Following the closure of the industry, the village was hit with a large unemployment dilemma, though many employment programmes have been started by the government.Saint Paul's is home to the current prime minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Dr. Denzil Llewellyn Douglas, and was also home to former premier, Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw, who is the first national hero of Saint Kitts.
