RSSDennery was once known as Anse Canot and later as Le Grand Mouyaba. Its present name was given by the French, following a 1768 visit to the town by a former governor, Count D'Ennery.
The village extends back from a deep and protected bay. The uninhabited Dennery Island lies at the northern tip of this village. A major export centre for agricultural produce throughout the nineteenth century, Dennery is a fishing and farming community today.
Since the addition of the large, Japanese-funded Daito Complex and Pier processing facility, it has acquired the status of being one of St Lucia's busiest fishing centres.
The small town has three small streets with a few bars. The towering white and rust coloured St Peter's Roman Catholic Church is located a block away from the seafront.
This stone and mortar structure dates back to around late 18th and early 19th Century and is one of the oldest churches on the island
