About Anguilla
Anguilla
was first settled by Amerindian tribes who migrated from
South America. The earliest Amerindian artefacts found on
Anguilla have been dated to around 1300 BC, and remains of
settlements date from 600 AD.[1] The date of European
discovery is uncertain: some sources claim that Columbus
sighted the island in 1493, while others state that the
island was first discovered by the French in 1564 or
1565.[2] The name Anguilla derives from the word for "eel"
in any of various Romance languages (modern Spanish:
anguila; French: anguille; Italian: anguilla), probably
chosen because of the island's eel-like shape.
Anguilla was first colonised by English settlers from Saint
Kitts, beginning in 1650. Other early arrivals included
Europeans from Antigua and Barbados. It is likely that some
of these early Europeans brought enslaved Africans with
them. Historians confirm that African slaves lived in the
region in the early seventeenth century. For example,
Africans from Senegal lived in St. Christopher (today St.
Kitts) in 1626. By 1672 a slave depot existed on the island
of Nevis, serving the Leeward Islands. While the time of
African arrival in Anguilla is difficult to place precisely,
archive evidence indicates a substantial African presence
(at least 100) on the island by 1683.
The island was administered by England, and later the United
Kingdom, until the early nineteenth century when – against
the wishes of the inhabitants – it was incorporated into a
single British dependency along with Saint Kitts and Nevis.
After two rebellions in 1967 and 1969 and brief period as a
self-declared independent republic headed by Ronald Webster,
British rule was fully restored in 1969. Anguilla became a
separate British dependency (now termed a British overseas
territory) in 1980.
