British Colonization (1650-present day)[edit | edit source]
In 1631, the Dutch West India Company established a fort on the island of Anguilla, but it was abandoned after Spain destroyed the fort in 1633. Great Britain conquered Anguilla in 1650 and began sending settlers to the area. Anguilla remains a British overseas Territory.[1]
