Augier is a significant community located in the Vieux Fort District in southern Saint Lucia. Historically rooted in the island's plantation economy, the settlement has grown into a vital residential hub for workers at the nearby Hewanorra International Airport. Agriculture still plays a central role in local life, with active cooperatives facilitating the production of bananas and root crops for domestic markets. Augier is home to one of the region’s major secondary schools, serving students from across the southern part of the island. The village acts as a gateway to the southern interior's rolling hills and fertile valleys, such as the Grace area. In recent years, commercial growth along its main corridors has diversified the local economy beyond farming. Despite its proximity to the industrial and commercial centers of Vieux Fort, Augier maintains a distinct community feel, characterized by tight-knit social structures and local cultural events. Its blend of rural charm and strategic location makes it an attractive residential choice for the local middle class.
