Salt Spring

Salt Spring

The Salt Spring community boasts five schools, eight churches, and a post office. Initially, water access was limited to four standpipes, supplemented by collecting water from the Blue Hole River, Gutter stream, and a Hartfield spring. Regularised utilities and roads arrived in the 1950s when Allan George St. Claver Coombs became a member of parliament. Salt Spring's growth expanded to include Quarry, Montego Hills, Montego Heights, Bottom Salt Spring, Meggie Top and Hatfield, now housing over 2,007 households and a population of 7,025 people.
