The Bermudian parishes are ruled by a Parish council all the members of which are elected. Bermuda Parishes are beautiful and are efficiently maintained by their respective governments. The continuing beauty of these Bermuda Parishes is vital to their economy because a large chunk of their foreign exchange comes from the tourism and hospitality industry.
The nine parishes of Bermuda are:
- Devonshire
- Hamilton
- Paget
- Pembroke
- St George's
- Sandys
- Smith's
- Southampton
- Warwick
The Bermudian Parishes have illustrious histories and their names as such are the tokens of memory of a glorious colonial past. The local governance provided by the parishes of Bermuda is the keynote of the development of Bermuda.
