Historical Background[edit | edit source]
The Turks and Caicos Islands, after a long period of rival French and Spanish claims, were eventually secured to the British Crown by the appointment in 1766 of a Resident British Agent, and became a separate colony in 1973 after association at various times with the colonies of the Bahamas and Jamaica.
