Saint Joseph

Saint Joseph is one of Dominica's 10 administrative parishes. It is bordered by St. Peter to the north, St. Andrew to the northeast, St. David to the east, and St. Joseph to the south. Most villages are located on the coast (Salisbury (also called Baroui), Coulibistri, Mero and Morne Raquette), but another small locale, Belles, is located in the interior. The parish is also home to the Layou area, whose river burst its banks in 1997.
