From being a very inconsiderable village 20 years ago, may be now classed among the largest towns in the Island, where there is a great deal of business done, and much more might be done was it a port of entry. The harbour, defended by a reef, is capacious and safe, and capable of much improvement, the channel leading into it running about N. E. and S. W. making it very secure against the strong Norths, which prevail in the winter months. One hundred square rigged vessels and fifty-one schooners and sloops have anchored and sailed from this harbour, in the last 12 months.

The Church is a handsome building, and cost £10,000, the site, consisting of four lotts [sic] of land, as a present from the deceased Edward Barrett, Esq. The organ was presented by John Tharpe, Esq.

Water being at an inconvenient distance, on the 11th day of January, 1801, £20,000 was subscribed in one hour, for the purpose of bringing it down in pipes from Martha Bare river, to a reservoir to be built; a Body Corporate under the firm of the Falmouth Water Company, is constituted under an Act of the Legislature to conduct this business, and are empowered to tax those who take the benefit of this laudable undertaking; by the last accounts from England, all the apparatus was shipped.

The Fort, from this encrease [sic]of buildings, is almost in the middle of the town, and should be removed to the extremity of the Point, the most commanding situation against an external enemy.

The Public Taxes paid by this parish in 1800, amount to.........£20,755. 0/ 10d

The Parochial ditto, .................................................................. 9,361. 10. 0

The Road Allotments, ditto, ...................................................... 6,956. 15. 0

The amount of Postage at Falmouth, to 5th October, 1800, 4 quarters, ..2,446. 3/ 1/2d

The amount of Stamps sold at the Stamp Office, ......................... 1,200. 0. 0.

besides £1000 more used by Individuals who take the benefit of the 10 per cent discount.

Thirteen thousand two hundred and ninety-five hogsheads, one thousand two hundred and twenty-nine tierces Sugar, six thousand four hundred puncheons Rum, besides other produce are shipped at the wharfs in this harbour. At Martha Brae, which is an inland village, there are no wharfs whatever. The Rock is a thriving little village, where there are several wharfs.

There are 100 Sugar Estates, 128 Penns and other Settlements in this parish. Taxes are paid for 27,636 Negroes, 17,619 head of Stock, and 256 Carriage Wheels.
