Is Pares named after a person? Indeed, it is. This charming village, Pares, traces its origins back to a man named John Pare. He established Pares in 1750. John owned a sizable sugar plantation encompassing 153 acres. He played a significant role in the early development of Pares. Sadly, he passed away in 1757. His daughter, Rachel Warner, inherited the 153-acre estate. The plantation thrived under her ownership. Historical records from 1787 reveal a bustling community on the estate. The slave registration listed 13 children, 89 women, and 63 men. This gives us a glimpse into the lives of those who labored on the plantation during that time. Today, Pares stands as a testament to its rich history. It carries the legacy of its founder. The village offers a glimpse into Antigua’s past.
