Corporation Profile
The Point Fortin Borough Council is the local authority for the town and surrounding areas, responsible for the full range of local government services to a population of approximately 23,000 people. Point Fortin the smallest Borough in Trinidad and Tobago, is located in southwestern Trinidad, about 32 km (20 miles) southwest of San Fernando. After the discovery of petroleum in the area in 1906 the town grew into a major oil-producing centre.
