Parham, officially known as the Town of Parham, is the capital of Saint Peter, the largest city in Saint Peter, and the fourteenth largest city in Antigua and Barbuda. Parham's population was 1,307 in 2011,[1] distributed over 1.99 square kilometres.[2] Parham is similar in population to Potters Village, the thirteenth most significant city in Antigua and Barbuda, and Bendals, the fifteenth largest city. Parham is situated on the shore of Parham Harbour,[3] one of the most important harbors in the country, enclosed by the Parham Peninsula and Long Island.
Parham comprises four main neighbourhoods: Lovers Lane, Parham Market, Byam Wharf, and the School neighborhood.[2] If the Saint Peter portion of All Saints, home to 1,954 people extending across three parishes, is considered a separate city, Parham would be regarded as the second largest city of Saint Peter.[4] The major division of Parham, the town's metropolitan area, stretching over the eastern portion of the parish, had a 2011 population of 3,499 people.[5]
