History

There are just under 5,000 residents on the island, which means everyone knows everyone there. In fact, the camaraderie is such that all who were born here have a nickname.Included among Montserratians are immigrants from Dominica, Jamaica, Guyana, the Dominican Republic and Haiti, who came to help rebuild the island after the first volcanic eruption. It is therefore not unusual to hear radio advertisements in Spanish and Haitian Creole

Goat water, the national dish of Montserrat, is a delicious stew, often served with bread or rice. This dish can be difficult to cook because it has to be a particular taste, flavor and color. They often cook it in a metal or tin pot on a wood fire. The smoke from the wood enhances the taste of the stew. They serve it at gatherings such as weddings, christenings, parties and funerals.

Much like the rest of the Caribbean Football and Cricket are major sports on the island.
