View CommentsGuestThe Spanish name for blood is 'Sangre', so they called the larger tributary 'Sangre Grande,' grande meaning 'big' in Spanish; and they called the smaller river 'Sangre Chiquito,' chiquito being the Spanish word for 'small'.

Believe it or not alot of Spaniards are familar with Trinidad and Tobago. Posted by Guest on Tue 10 Oct 2006 04:37:18 AM UTC Team Elite Karate

Sangre Grande got its name from a river. Spanish Surveyors in the late 1770s found that the water to two of the tributaries of the Oropouche River was as red as blood.
