History of Anguilla
Anguilla, once a lush island with dense rain forest, was discovered some 4,000 years ago by an Arawak-speaking Amerindian people who called it "Malliouhana". The Arawak, skilled farmers and fishermen and good at pottery making, had slowly made their way p the islands from South America by raft or dug out canoe. [eng] |

Under an English Heaven
When in the spring of 1967 the tiny Caribbean island of Anguilla rebelled against independence and in favor of colonialism, the action was so misunderstood by the islander's ex-mother country, Great Britain, that two years later the English invaded the peace with 315 paratroopers in a witless attempt to put the rebellion down.

History
After the English and their slaves had settled on the island they found the weather conditions unfavourable for agricultural cultivation and soon left the island and the slaves behind. Anguilla then became apart of the St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla . Anguillians proved to be very proud people not wanting to succumb to the neglect they had experienced while under St. Kitts' "rule".
