 In 1935 the Deep Water Harbour Scheme dredged the offshore area along Port of Spain's western neighbourhoods, and the dredged material was used to fill in the area south of Woodbrook.Wrightson Road, linking downtown Port of Spain to its western suburbs, was constructed at the same time.These reclaimed lands were originally called Docksite, and were home to US forces during World War II; later a number of government buildings were constructed here.
