In the 17th century, Placencia was settled by the English
Puritans, originally from Nova Scotia and latterly from the
island of Providencia. This settlement died out during the
Central American wars of independence in the 1820s.
The Placencia Peninsula was resettled in the late 1800s by
several families who decided to settle. Placencia prospered and
soon became a village, earning its livelihood from the sea.
The Spaniards that travelled the southern coast of Belize gave
Placencia its name. At that time Placencia was called Placentia,
with the point being called Punta Placentia or Pleasant Point
In the late 20th century it became a significant tourism
destination.
Location and geographic setting
The eastern side of the Placencia Peninsula is a long expanse of
white sand beach; the western side is bounded by a long narrow
north-south trending bay of the Caribbean Sea. A significant
settlement on the peninsula is the Garifuna village of Seine
Bight.
Demographics
The village is home to 458 permanent residents according to the
2000 census.
