The resort consists of the neighbourhoods Livorno and Bethesda.[2] Livorno is a former sugar plantation founded in 1819 by F. Cassali from Livorno, Italy.[3] Bethesda was the location of a leper colony which had been at that location between 1933,[4] and 1962.[5] Livorno is close to the harbour, and home to small industry.[2]
