History

In 1826 Roaring Creek was mentioned as being 142 miles from Settlement 12 along the Waterway 20.^[1]

In 1960 the Belize Estate and Produce Company wanted to evict all villages illegally situated on their lands, often for over a hundred years. Roaring Creek was one of these villages.

George Cadle Price of the People's United Party told them, "Do not move, we will win the elections in 1961 and we will get these lands for you all.". In March of 1961 his party won. The first thing they did was to acquire all the lands legally and paid the BEC with the hundreds of thousands they owed in land taxes.^[2]

In November of 2002 the Roaring Creek Golf Course opened, it was the first public golf course in Belize.^[3]

On October 25, 2010, Hurricane Richard, a 90mph storm uprooted a tree in Roaring Creek which toppled over and destroyed a house in the village.^[4]

On January 1, 1951 the name of New Home changed to Roaring Creek and the title of the Police Officer changed from "The Police Officer stationed at Banana Bank" to "The Police Officer stationed at Roaring Creek".^[5]

Submissions for tenders for the construction of farm roads were given out in 1963. ^[6]

Social Services

Our Lady of Fatima R.C. School had a new school building inaugurated by the Government on Belize on March 5, 2026.^[7]

In 1949 the police force consisted of 1 officer, and a new police substation was constructed. The station had a horse and a dory.^[8]

The old Roaring Creek Police Station was constructed in 1950 and became very old over time. It was also periodically inundated by flood water. So on June 24 2020 a new Police Station was inaugurated in the center of the village. It was built by Johan Construction and Engineering Limited for just $479,592.72 in a little under 9 months.

The Roaring Creek Police Station serves the Cayo District from Blackman Eddy all the way to Cotton Tree and from Camalote to Valley of Peace.^[9]
