Sorin Cosoveanu drew attention to the 2010 census report (source [9]).

ISO 3166-2 Newsletter I-8, published on 2007-04-17, has new ISO parish codes for Barbados. They are shown in the table below. They replace codes from a draft version, ISO/DIS 2166-2, which had not been supported.

On 1966-11-30, Barbados became independent. A Geographic Note from the Bureau of Intelligence and Research of the U.S. State Department, issued on that same date, says: 'Administratively, the Northern and Southern district councils and Bridgetown City Council comprise the first-order civil divisions.... Eleven parishes and the City of Bridgetown (not to be confused with the City Council) are not administrative entities; they presently serve as electoral districts.' An accompanying map shows that the Bridgetown City Council has about half of Saint Michael parish and a fragment of Christ Church parish as its jurisdiction. The North district includes the parishes of Saint Andrew, Saint James, Saint Joseph, Saint Lucy, Saint Peter, and Saint Thomas. The South district covers the remainder of the country. Ordinarily, I don't count electoral districts as administrative subdivisions, because they tend to change frequently under redistricting, and it's hard to get maps of them. Barbados is an exception: the parishes have been stable for at least 100 years, and I've seen more maps that show the parishes than the districts. Therefore, I would stay with the parishes as primary divisions of Barbados.

International standard ISO 3166-2 was published on December 15, 1998. It superseded ISO/DIS 3166-2 (draft international standard). For Barbados, the draft standard showed eleven parishes with their codes. The final standard mentions that there are eleven parishes, but declines to specify names or codes. It says that these divisions are 'not relevant'.

Postal codes:

Barbados has recently assigned a set of postal codes in the format BBxxyyy, where the x's and y's represent digits. The xx part looks as if it's closely related to the parish, although not completely coincident with it. The table above gives the xx part for the central post office(s) in each parish.

The 'L' column above shows license plate codes as listed in source [2]. These codes were used as ISO 3166-2 codes in the draft standard of 1997, except that X was replaced by C for Christ Church; but they were never part of the published standard.

Territorial extent:

The UN LOCODE page for Barbados lists locations in the country, some of them with their latitudes and longitudes, some with their ISO 3166-2 codes for their subdivisions. This information can be put together to approximate the territorial extent of subdivisions.

Change history:

Source [7] says this about local government: 'Local government was in operation for sometime until 1969. When it was introduced, each parish had its own local government system called the Vestry. The vestries were later abolished and the island divided into three areas - two districts served by councils and the third, the City of Bridgetown was given a City Council and a Mayor.

'In 1967 the councils were abolished and local government affairs were administered by an Interim Commissioner for Local Government. Two years later the system ended, when the functions of the local government service were transferred to central government and statutory boards.

1. '1629: The island was divided into six parishes.
2. '1645: The island was divided into eleven parishes.
3. '1967-04: The system of Local Government Council[s] was dissolved and replaced by an Interim Commissioner for Local Government.
4. '1969-09-01: All Local Government services were transferred from the interim Commissioner to the Central Government and such statutory bodies as the Sanitation and Cemeteries Board, the National Assistance Board and Parks and Beaches Commission.'

Although the parishes may not have an administrative function any more, they can still be seen on up-to-date maps, and they are constantly used as a guide to location on the island.

Population history:

Barbados's population figures vary from source to source. Its 1980 census report gives five different figures for the total population.

Zip Code For St Michael Barbados

1. (1) 253,883 enumerated in 'visitation records'
2. (2) 252,029 estimated de-facto population
3. (3) 247,129 estimated resident population
4. (4) 244,228 total 'tabulable' population
5. (5) 248,983 population 'usually resident'

The calculations are reported as follows:

1. (2) = (1) minus the number of residents abroad on census night
2. (3) = (2) minus the number of non-residents enumerated
3. (4) = (3) minus the institutional population excluded from tables (mainly prisoners and hospital patients)
4. (5) = (1) minus the number of non-residents enumerated

Apparently these or similar calculations are performed for every census.

Barbados Postal Code St Michael

The parish of Christ Church is one of eleven historic political divisions of Barbados. It has a land area of 57 km² (22 sq mi) and is found at the southern end of the island. Christ Church has survived by name as one of the original six parishes created in 1629 by Governor Sir William Tufton.

The parish contains the Sir Grantley Adams International Airport as well as the last remaining mangrove swamp in the country, the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary. Under Barbados's historic vestry, the main parish church was originally seated near Dover. After it and the courtyard were destroyed by flood in 1669, the main parish church moved to Oistins area, becoming the main town and former capital of the parish. The South Point Lighthouse is located in South Point, Christ Church, between Atlantic Shores and Green Garden, also in Christ Church.

Another notable area of Christ Church is Saint Lawrence Gap, which is the most lively tourist area on the island. Many of the taverns and clubs in St. Lawrence are frequented by locals and tourists alike.
