History
PG was founded by Garifuna settlers from Honduras in 1832 and nearly half its population is still Garifuna today. The town once served as an R&R center for the British Army (always a mixed blessing, as anyone who’s ever lived in a town favored by the military will attest). After this phase ended (for better or worse) in 1992, tourism in PG went into somewhat of a lull, though in recent years things have picked up significantly, thanks both to increasing interest in the region by casual travelers and a significant number of NGOs basing themselves in and around the town.
