Quiet and Tranquil. Independence is exactly portrayed in its name. In this quaint little village, you will feel liberated from the busy bustling, and hustling of the go-go-life. Being the main hub to other smaller, nearby villages, Independence is the home of the Big Creek Water Port and the Banana Growers Association at the port. The Big Creek Water Port serves as the main point of entry and departure for the fruit and oil industries. Surely there is much to learn here as you visit the banana farms or take a stroll down the streets of Independence.
