| About
Antigua and Barbuda |
The
independent island state of Antigua and Barbuda includes the uninhabited
rocky islet of Redonda to the south-west.
When Christopher
Columbus landed on the island he called Antigua, in 1493, it was inhabited by the
fierce Carib tribe. They hindered colonization of the island until the British established
a settlement there in 1632.
Thirty years later, settlers from Antigua
moved north to establish a presence on Barbuda too.
Antigua and Barbuda became an independent
state on November 1, 1981.
