Union Island

Union Island is one of the southern Grenadines, part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, with its main village at Clifton. In December 1979, weeks after independence, a brief armed uprising there was put down with help from Barbados. In July 2024 Hurricane Beryl destroyed or damaged most of its buildings.
