Corporation Profile
The Borough of Chaguanas is the largest (67,433, 2000 census) and fastest-growing town in Trinidad and Tobago. Located in Central Trinidad about 18 km (11 miles) south of Port of Spain, Chaguanas began life as a Convict Depot. It grew in size due to its proximity to the Woodford Lodge sugar refinery. It remained a minor town until the 1980s when it began to grow rapidly. Although it originally drew people for bargain shopping and moderately-priced housing, the growth of the town has seen property values increase dramatically. Chaguanas became a borough in 1990; prior to that it was part of the County of Caroni.
