Derbe, Trinidad and Tobago
Debe is an important town in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, located in the southwestern part of the island of Trinidad. As the commercial and transportation hub of the region, Debe is known for its vibrant street markets and rich Indo-Trinidadian culture.
Location and Population
Derbe has a population of about 15,000 people located on a fertile agricultural plain, close to the towns of San Fernando and Penal. Its location makes it a hub for agricultural products in southern Trinidad and a key node connecting the coast with the interior.
Cultural and Economic Characteristics
Derbe has a predominantly Indian community, which has retained a large number of traditional Indian festivals (e.g. Diwali) and food cultures, with authentic Indian snacks such as doubles (spicy chickpea burritos) common in the streets. The economy is based on agricultural trade, retail and small-scale manufacturing, with a weekly open-air market that attracts a large number of neighborhood residents.
