The Central Plain (North Antiguan: Senchaal Plien) is a region in Antigua. It is home to the majority of people in Antigua and Barbuda, with the highest concentration of settlements.[1] Located in the eponymous geologic region, it stretches from St. John's in the northwest to English Harbour in the southwest.[2][3] Most settlement in the area is based around All Saints Road and its offshoots.[4][1] In 2011, the area was home to 44,097 people in about 92 square kilometres, about 52% of the national population.[5] The main settlements are St. John's, Piggotts, All Saints, Swetes, Liberta, Falmouth, and English Harbour. The region makes up about a third of the country's area and stretches through all parishes except Saint Philip.[6]
