Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis)
St. Kitts and Nevis (Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis) ANN L. GRIFFITHS 1 history and development of federalism The islands of St. Kitts (168 km2) and Nevis (93 km2) are located in the Lesser Antilles chain of islands in the Eastern Caribbean. They are separated by a channel of just over three kilometres. The islands were inhabited first by the Sibonay who arrived ap- proximately 2,000 years ago from Central America. They were fol- lowed by the Arawak and then the Caribs who both came north from South America. The first European to record the presence of the is- lands was Christopher Columbus in November 1493. He named the islands San Cristobel (St. Christopher), after his patron saint, and Santa Maria de las Nieves (Nevis) because the island’s mountains re- minded him of the snow-capped peaks in Europe. Although the Spanish claimed the islands, they never settled on them, and in 1623 St. Christopher became the first British territory in the West Indies. Nevis was colonized by the British in 1628. French settlers arrived on the islands in the 1620s, and the two settler colonies made the native Caribs their common enemy, ensuring that the natives were either killed or fled the island. Until the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht when France gave up its claims to Saint Christophe, there was intermittent fighting between the British and French settlers on the islands. After the French left, the colony of- ficially became St. Christopher (shortened to St. Kitts). The Treaty of Versailles (1783) made the islands wholly British. -
