The Mount Reuil Estate a 289 acres coffee plantation was established during the period of French occupation and was owned by a Mr. Closier.  When the island was ceded to Britain, Mr. Closier did not sold out his property but stayed on the island as an old subject.  At his death, he left his property to his Widow and heirs thus, by 1772, the property was recorded as having 290 acres of coffee, pasture and provision with a workforce of 140 slaves.  However, over the ensuing years a gradual transformation was made to sugar production. Thus, by 1800 the estate was recorded as 272 acres, owned by Cross and J. Mc Innes and was in the production of sugar.

It is reported that by the 1843, the estate was bought over by a Scotsman Mr. Archie Mc Cloud and a Mr. Alexander.  By 1867, the estate was mainly in the hands of the Heirs of C. Alexander and Hall Alexander.  The story goes that Mr. Mc Cloud had one son who came to Grenada to seek his fortune, however he became too involved with the local girls hence he lost his inheritance of the estate.  Instead, he bought some small parcels of lands such as Top Hill and Spring Bank, then later committed suicide.  In the meantime, Mt. Reuil also bought some additional pieces of land thus increasing the estate landholding to 366 acres.

He left Grenada in 1959 but because of the death of the owners husband he was asked to return to Grenada to manage the estate.   However, by 1978, the Mt. Reuil Estate was taken over by the then Prime Minister, Mr. Gairy and from thence on became a government property, from the Grenada Model Farms Corporation under the People's Revolutionary Government, to just a government estate after the collapse of the corporation.  Although parts of the estate were sold to the late Dr. Stan Friday and others, the estate is still in government domain as of today.
