Saint Peter Parish, Montserrat

Saint Peter is one of Montserrat's three administrative parishes. As of 2009, it is the only parish to be inhabited. This would give the parish a population of between 4,000 and 6,000. Saint Peter Parish covers the north-west of the island, and was therefore least affected by the eruptions of Soufrière Hills, the island's volcano.

The John A. Osborne Airport is located in the parish.
