Boggy Peak

On the island of Antigua, Boggy Peak is the highest point of the Shekerley Mountains. The Shekerley Mountains are a modest mountain range on Antigua's southwest coast, in the Leeward Islands of the eastern Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda. From near Johnsons Point in the west to Falmouth Harbour and Falmouth, near English Harbour in the east, the range spans approximately 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) along the island's south coast. Boggy Peak is located in the island's southwest area and rises to a height of 402 meters (1,319 ft).

Because it was utilized for sugarcane plantations during slavery, the area has a rich cultural history. Slave owners used to tell legends about the dangers of the Boogie Man, who captured spirits and resided in the mountains. This was done to prevent slaves from fleeing into the highlands. Runaways were allowed to establish their own colonies in the highlands and live free of captivity for the rest of their lives.

On August 4, 2009, then-Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer christened the summit Mount Obama in honor of US President Barack Obama. On June 21, 2016, the original name was reinstated.
