| The first settlers in St. Lucia were the Arawak Indians who arrived around 200 A.D. through 800 A.D. They were peaceful, farming settlers, whose culture was superseded by the warrior-like Caribs. There were no Europeans settlers in St. Lucia until in the 1550's, when notorious buccaneer Francois le Clerc established his base on Pigeon Island. Many subsequent settlements failed. The first lasting settlements and towns were all French after the French West India Company "brought" the island approximately 1650's. In 1746 Soufriere was the main town and by 1780 there were 12 settlements and several sugar plantations. However, the British persevered in their efforts to possess St. Lucia, launching a failed invasion in 1778 called the "Battle of Cul de Sac". By 1814, the British had succeeded in taking possession of St. Lucia after a prolonged series of very destructive battles.

| The first inhabitants in the Turks & Caicos
islands were Taino Indians. The Europeans through the following measures decimated these people: some were carried off into slavery and others died by imported European diseases. The Turks & Caicos Islands got their name on account of the great number of Turk's head cacti found there. The name is also a derivation from the Lucayan term "Cape hico" which means "a string of islands". The Lucayans were another group of Indians who replaced the Tainos but by the middle of the 16th century, they had disappeared. Americans, notably Teddy Roosevelt and the Duponts 'discovered' the islands and built a landing strip for their private planes and a deep-water harbour to anchor their boats. The Europeans again joined in and created Club Med. This has transformed the islands into a tourist resort. The islands became a Crown Colony of Great Britain in 1973.

| The islands of the Caribbean Sea or West Indies are an extensive archipelago in the far west of the Atlantic Ocean, mostly strung between North and South America. They've long been known as a resort vacation destination for honeymooners and retirees, but a small movement toward eco-tourism and backpacking has started to open up the Caribbean to more
independent travel. With year-round good weather (with the minor exception of hurricane season in the late summer and early fall), promotional air fares from Europe and North America, and hundreds of islands to explore, the Caribbean offers something for almost everyone.
