Once known as Anse Canot, and later as Le Grand Mouyaba, DENNERY was given its current name by the French, following a 1768 visit to the town by the then Windward Islands governor, Count D'Ennery. The village extends back from a deep and protected bay , with uninhabited Dennery Island at its northern tip. A major export centre for agricultural produce throughout the nineteenth century, Dennery is a farming community today, and - since the addition of the large, Japanese-funded Daito Complex and Pier processing facility - it's also one of St Lucia's busiest fishing centres. The town itself is a jumble of compact streets with a few bars but nothing much of interest save the Saturday night fish fry on the seafront. A pleasant, low-key and mainly local affair, it's much less developed than the overpriced affairs at Anse La Raye and Gros Islet, and much less touristy too.
