North Sound

North Sound is a settlement, former plantation, and former division in Antigua and Barbuda.

In 1725, the Division of North Sound was split into the Division of Old North Sound, and the Division of New North Sound, which became the Parish of Saint George.

The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is a Test cricket venue located on the outskirts of the city. The stadium is occasionally described as the "North Sound stadium". Upon completion in 2006 it replaced the Antigua Recreation Ground as the main cricket venue on the island.
