Port of Spain was founded by the Spanish as Puerto España, near the Amerindian fishing village of Cumucurapo.

The Northern Range, considered an extension of the Andes mountains, is home to over 465 species of birds.

Housing in Port of Spain ranges from luxurious waterfront apartments to board houses lacking indoor plumbing.

Port of Spain became a 'city' in 1914, with its first city councillors elected on November 2 of that year.

Port of Spain's largest open space, the Queen's Park Savannah, is known as the world's largest traffic roundabout.
