Of which continent is Grenada considered to be a part?

Grenada is considered part of North America. It is an island country in the southeastern Caribbean, within the West Indies, rather than on the North American mainland.

Grenada includes the main island of Grenada and the smaller islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. Its capital, St. George's, sits on the island's southwestern coast. The country lies north of Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela, and south of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

The apparent confusion comes from the fact that Grenada is culturally associated with the Caribbean and geographically separated from the continental United States, Canada, and Mexico. In the common seven-continent model, however, the Caribbean islands are generally grouped within North America. South America begins farther south, with Venezuela being the nearest mainland South American country.

Grenada is also known as the “Spice Isle” because nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, and cloves have historically been important crops. It became independent from the United Kingdom in 1974.
