This U.S. National Historic Site is situated on seven acres centered on the
waterfront, and includes five 18th- and 19th-century buildings that testify to
the island’s Danish roots. Named for a king, the surrounding town reflects a
blend of influences — from European architecture and arcaded sidewalks to
buildings in Caribbean pastels.
As a teenager, 18th-century American statesman Alexander Hamilton lived
here and worked as a clerk for an import-export merchant. It was during this
period that the impoverished boy’s talents were recognized, and the business
owner was moved to fund Hamilton’s education in the American colonies.
The African influence in this community is strong, as you’re likely to see if
you’re here during a celebration. Colorfully costumed stilts-walking characters
known as
mocko jumbies
are an integral part of this island’s parades and
festivities, originating from the cultural lore brought over by slaves.
