Bermudian Valley is a ghost town in Saint Mary, Antigua and Barbuda. Bermudian Valley was granted town status in 1675, the designation establishing the settlement as one of six official places of trade. [1] [2] Bermudian Valley was the headtown of the eponymous Bermudian Valley Division, which continued to be a functioning administrative division after the town's depopulation. [3] Bermudian Valley was abadoned in 1842, around the same time as Bridgetown. [4] The present-day village of Ffryes is located where the town once stood. [5]
