{{ButtonsGroup}}


Cape Verde was probably discovered in 1456 by Luigi da Cadamosto, who at that time was in service to Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal (Henrique o Navegador); the islands showed no signs of any previous human settlement. In 1462, São Tiago was the first island to receive settlers. Plantation agriculture was established by the Portuguese community and worked by African slaves, who were brought in from the adjacent Guinea coast.

* Cape Verde is comprised of 10 islands, but only 9 are inhabited.
* The native language is called Kriolu or Creole which is similar to Portuguese, but is currently not a written language.  For writing they use Portuguese and many of the younger generation can speak Portuguese.
* Many Cape Verdeans have immigrated to the northeastern United States.
