Ah Name is Ah Name

Welcome to Arima, officially known as The Royal Chartered Borough of Arima—the easternmost and second-largest borough in Trinidad and Tobago.

In 1887, the town, in a historic gesture celebrating Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, petitioned for municipal status. Queen Victoria granted this request the following year, marking the official establishment of Arima as a Royal Borough on August 1, 1888.

Nestled in the heart of Trinidad and Tobago, the Borough of Arima proudly boasts a rich history and vibrant community. Among its distinguished residents are:

 Aldwyn Roberts, renowned as The Lord Kitchener, a legendary Calypsonian whose contributions have left an indelible mark on the island's cultural landscape.

As you embark on this journey through the pages of Ah Name is Ah Name (Life in Arima) you will meet other 'residents' who have contributed to the borough's tapestry and illustrious legacy.
