Lookout (sometimes spelled as Look Out) is a village in the northern portion of the Caribbean island of Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory. The population was 696 as of 2018.[1] Lookout is the home of several notable buildings including St. Patrick's Church[2] and Blakes Estate Stadium, which is the largest stadium in Montserrat and has a higher capacity than the population of the entire town.[3] The stadium is the home of the Montserrat national football team and several club teams in the Montserrat Championship including Police, Ideal, Tremors, and others.
History
[edit]Lookout is the youngest settlement on Montserrat.[4] It was founded in 1998 following the 1997 Soufrière Hills eruption. Many of Lookout's current residents evacuated from Plymouth, the former capital of the island, which was destroyed in the eruption.
