The Spaniards had named it 'Rio Guapo'; later on they called the entire region 'Guapo' after dividing the island into what they termed "partidas". Guapo means beautiful or majestic.

Point Fortin got its name from a Frenchman planter by the name of ‘Fortine’. The name is now spelt “Fortin”. He came to Trinidad in 1783 and received a grant of land in the area that carries his name.
