History
[edit ]An estate known as Ffryes was first mentioned in 1665. At the time, the estate was owned by John Frye and was sized at 132 acres. When slavery was abolished, the estate was given about 1,499ドル to compensate for eighty-six slaves on the plantation.[4] In 1830, the St. Philip's Anglican Church was established in the village, making the village the administrative centre of the parish.[5] According to an 1856 report, the estate of Ffrys had a population of thirty-seven men and forty women.[6] Since then, the town has had a very small population and has been mostly based around the church. The name St. Philip's likely originated from the church as well.
