Speightstown in Barbados BARBADE barbados. speightstown Informations and links Speightstown  Map Speightstown Photos Speightstown ------------------------------- Speightstown is one of the larger cities of Barbados, along with the city of Holetown and the capital city Bridgetown. Speightstown is located in the parish of Saint Peter. The city is named after William Speight, a member of Barbados' first Assembly during the colonial years as well as the former land owner where the city is located. The city was Barbados's largest ports, and has now become a large tourist attraction. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) The island was uninhabited when first settled by the British in 1627. Slaves worked the sugar plantations established on the island until 1834 when slavery was abolished. The economy remained heavily dependent on sugar, rum, and molasses production through most of the 20th century. The gradual introduction of social and political reforms in the 1940s and 1950s led to complete independence from the UK in 1966. In the 1990s, tourism and manufacturing surpassed the sugar industry in economic importance..
