All Pines was a village in Stann Creek from the 1800s to the 1960s. It was a shipping port, supplying pine wood for construction in Belize and other locations along the coast. Cheaper pine wood from the United States led to the decline of All Pines during the 1900s. [1]
In 1924 the area around All Pines had 245 trees per acre.[2]
In 1926 All Pines had a pier that could accommodate vessels drawing 14 ft.
In 1946 All Pines and Sittee River's population were counted together, at 538 residents.
In the 2010s the area where All Pines once stood was turned into a luxury real estate development, initially called Sanctuary Belize and later renamed The Reserve.
Improved mail and passenger services by motor vessels were established in 1924, the routes being Belize City-Corozal Town-Orange Walk Town and Belize City-Dangriga-All Pines-Monkey River Town-Punta Gorda. These services were subsidized by the government and mail was carried under contract.[3]
