Saint George is mostly farmland and savanna in the south, dense forest in the Blackman's Peninsula area, marshland in the Fitches Creek area, and dense forest in the northwest.

[4] The neighbourhoods of Fitches Creek, Coolidge, Airport all had the top fifteen living conditions indexes in 2008.

Numerous historical relics from the parish can still be seen today, including the Blackman's[12] and Judge Blizzard's plantations.

[13] From the earliest days of colonization, pre-Columbian peoples made extensive use of Winthorpe's Bay.

There are patches of Archaic Age flakes and lithic debitage scattered over many kilometers of the waterfront, together with deposits of shellfish, which are the leftovers of prehistoric meals.

Barnacle Point, and the Archaic sites, GE-9 and 10, were destroyed by land development in the summer of 2003.

[15] During the times of slavery, Saint George was divided into twenty-two slave plantations.

Even earlier, on 4 February, work had started building the Naval Air Station, and on 17 March, a detachment of fifty Marines, the first American military personnel, arrived.

[17] The settlement of Winthorpes and the MacDonalds' estate house at High Point were included in the borders of the region selected for the Army base, which was primarily made up of canefield, scrub, and mango swamp.

[18] Construction on the base did not conclude until the spring of 1942, in part due to the lengthy process of relocating the village and its residents.

[18] Saint George is mostly flat, being dominated by grasslands in the south, marshland in the centre, and forest in the north.

[21] There is a salt pond in the northern region, and various small water bodies in the south.
