St John's, Antigua

Offering some of the best watersports conditions in the world, St John's is a rugged port with attitude.

- ST JOHN'S - INFORMATION
- St John's, Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda
It is thought that the Arawaks first inhabited Antigua about 2,000 years ago; around 1200 AD they were evicted by the Caribs. It was not until 1493 that Columbus first sighted Antigua, and named it after a church in Seville, Spain. The British colonised the island in 1632, and in 1674 Sir Christopher Codrington arrived to establish the first sugar plantation. By the end of that century, the plantation economy had developed, slaves were imported and the central part of the island was stripped of its forests and replanted with sugar cane. In the early 1800's, the sugar market began to falter. With the abolition of slavery in 1834, the plantations collapsed and were consolidated under the control of a handful of landowners. Antigua finally achieved independence in 1981.
For reference, the currency of Antigua is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, although US Dollars are widely accepted.
