The Massacre River is a river on the Caribbean island of Dominica.
The town of Massacre, Dominica, which runs along the river, was named by the French after a massacre of Caribs carried out by the English that occurred in the area in 1674.
[1] The massacre occurred in a settlement that was established by Thomas “Carib” Warner, the Kittitian-born son of the English colonizer Sir Thomas Warner and a Kalinago woman from Dominica.
Following his murder, the people of the village he established were massacred.
