Soufriere Regional Development Foundation
Soufriere, home of St. Lucia's World Heritage Site, is located on the greener part of the island, its west coast. It boasts a deepwater harbour, excellent diving sights and fertile soil which made it the bread basket of St. Lucia. Soufriere, St. Lucia's first town (officially recognized by France in 1746), was the center for most of the wars between England and France. One of the most famous battles, "The Battle of Rabot" extended as far as Fond Doux Estate, which is now a Historic Heritage Site.
