History of Saint Vincent : Discover (991 words)
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines were discovered and first inhabited by the Ciboney, who left their native South America on board their peculiar small boats to arrive and settle on the islands way before Egypt’s first pharaohs rose to power.
Saint Vincent and neighbouring Dominica were the two most important bases of the native Carib Indians, who displayed extremely strong resistance against French and English settlers, not only protecting their islands from colonisation but also sending out invading expeditions to surrounding islands, in order to reconquer these territories from the European intruders.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are inhabited by approximately 120 000 people today, with a population density of 308,02 inhabitants /km2.
