Grenada is an island country situated in the southern Caribbean. Its capital is St George’s. It is one of the world’s largest exporters of nutmeg and mace, and is therefore known as the “Island of Spice”. From 1763 until 1974 it was a British Colony, after which it gained independence. Since then civil war and invasion by the United States because of close ties with Cuba, have created much unrest, although democratic rule seems to have been implemented many times since independence.
Grenada issued its first stamps in 1861. Until independence, stamps often carried a portrait of the British monarch as well as scenes of the island.
