  • Galeota Point, the last jot of land on the southeastern peninsula holds a very meaningful place in Trinidad and Tobago's socio-economic history. It is home to a significant portion of Trinidad and Tobago's gas and oil reserves and it is frequented by wildlife, especially a variety of bird species on migratory routes across the Caribbean. It was originally referred to as ‘Punta de Galera' but was changed to its current name, Galeota Point during the British takeover by the Captain of the Royal Surveying Engineers, Frederick Mallet, in 1797. This area has been victim to coastal erosion for centuries and is probably less than half the size it was in the 1790's. Thus, by the 1900's, villagers began the laborious process of carrying back their houses to avoid engulfment by the sea. TriniView.com
