In 1498, Christopher Columbus sailed by the island and called it Concepcion but passing Spanish sailors found its lush green hills so evocative of Andalusia that they rejected this name in favour of Granada. The French then adapted Granada to Grenade, and the British later changed it from Grenade to Grenada. Under the Treaty of Versailles in 1783, the island was permanently ceded to the British. Today the independent, democratic nation still maintains some of its French heritage.

Temperatures range from 75 to 87 degrees Fahrenheit, tempered by the steady and cooling trade winds, in this tropical climate. The island experiences a rainy season from June to December and a drier season from January to May. Because of Grenada's remarkable topography, the island also experiences climate changes according to altitude
