FORMER MAYARO POST

In 1700, Mayaro was totally isolated, cut off from the rest of the island by dense forest and the lack of bridges over the Ortoire River. In 1818, a steamboat that circled the island was put into service, and in 1851, a new postal service was inaugurated in Mayaro, the delivery point for the entire region. Initially installed in the village of Radix, the point of passage of the boat, a post office was built in 1921 by a certain Philippe Xavier, with a large veranda on its facade. Today it is classified as a historical monument but is in need of repair.
