Saint Peter is one of Montserrat's three administrative parishes. As of 2009 [update] , it is the only parish to be inhabited. [1] This would give the parish a population of between 4,000 and 6,000. [2] Saint Peter Parish covers the north-west of the island, [3] and was therefore least affected by the eruptions of Soufrière Hills, the island's volcano.
The John A. Osborne Airport is located in the parish. [4]
