Boggy Peak

Boggy Peak, named Mount Obama from 2009 to 2016, is the highest point of the Shekerley Mountains on the island of Antigua.

It lies in the southwest region of the island, and rises to a height of 402 metres (1,319 ft).

[2][3] The area has significant cultural heritage as it was used during slavery times for sugarcane plantations.

The name originated from slave masters telling stories about the dangers of the Boogie Man who took spirits and lived up in the mountains.

[citation needed] On August 4, 2009, the peak was renamed Mount Obama by then-Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer, after United States president Barack Obama.
