Home > San Carlos, Falkland Islands


 

San Carlos is a settlement in northwestern East Falkland, lying south of Port San Carlos on San Carlos Water . It is named after the ship San Carlos , which visited in 1768, and grew in the early twentieth century around a factory which froze sheep carcasses.

San Carlos was the main British Army bridgehead during the Falklands War, and a museum and the British War Cemetery commemorate that period.
