Zion's Hill, also known by its former name Hell's Gate, is a town on the Dutch Caribbean island of Saba.
History
Hell's Gate was officially named "Zion's Hill" after complaints from the church forced the island's government to change the name. However, "Hell's Gate" is still commonly used by many Sabans and tourists.
