History & Cultural Notes

Area code 758 serves Saint Lucia, split off from the shared Caribbean area code 809 and put into service on July 1, 1996, with permissive dialing on both codes continuing through January 1, 1997. The code covers the whole island nation, including its capital and largest city, Castries, along with Gros Islet, Vieux Fort, Soufriere, Micoud, and Dennery.

Tourism and hospitality is the largest contributor to Saint Lucia's economy, with the service sector making up 86.9% of GDP, driven largely by cruise ship and resort visitors. Agriculture, principally bananas, remains a historically important though declining export trade, and offshore banking and financial services add to the island's commercial mix.

  • A former French and British colony that changed hands between the two powers many times, giving it a distinctive blended Franco-English Creole culture and a Kweyol language alongside English.
  • Home to the Pitons, twin volcanic spires near Soufriere and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the island's most recognizable natural landmark.
  • The smallest nation in the world to have produced two Nobel Prize laureates: economist Sir Arthur Lewis and poet Derek Walcott.
