 It is bordered by the Lady Young Road on the North and penetrates the communities of Mon Repos on the North East, Barataria on the East, Laventille on the South West and Belmont on the West.Morvant was originally a village that housed many working-class families who made their livelihoods within the homes and businesses of the (relatively) more affluent middle-class people living in the nearby capital city of Port of Spain.There are still many older Trinidadians who can remember and tell the stories about how, in the late 1940s and early 1950s—long before the political advent of Eric Williams and the PNM—the Trinidad government undertook in Morvant an innovative community-based housing development program that brought greater prosperity and stability to Morvant.
