Administrative divisions of Bermuda

The land area of Bermuda is divided into nine parishes. There are also two defined municipalities, located in the boundaries of two of the parishes.

Parishes

Bermuda has nine "Parishes", originally called "Tribes". Each of the nine parishes with the exception of St. George's covers the same land area, (2.31 square miles / 5.97 km²). The Parishes are not administrative divisions, and have no relationship with Bermuda's electoral districts.
