George Cadle Price, PC, OCC (15

January 1919 – 19 September 2011), was a Belizean statesman who served twice as the head of

government of Belize from 1961–1984 and 1989–1993. He served as First Minister

and Premier under British rule until independence in 1981 and was the nation's

first prime minister after

independence that year. He is considered to have been one of the principal

architects of Belizean independence. Today he is referred to by many as the

"Father of the Nation".

Price effectively dominated Belizean politics from the early 1960s until his

1996 retirement from party leadership, serving as the nation's head of

government under various titles for most of that period. He entered politics in

1947 with his election to the Belize City Council. In 1949, with the

devaluation of the British Honduran dollar he,

together with a group of citizens, formed the People's Committee. It was the

start of the "peaceful, constructive Belizean revolution". On 29

September 1950, he co-founded the People's United Party,

which he led for four decades and which was devoted to the political and

economic independence of the British colony, then known as British Honduras.
