Mustique history  

Mustique history overview

Mustique history strats with the nautical discoveries of Christopher Columbus in the 1490s and the decision of Spain to establish a landed empire in the Caribbean after 1502.

For Mustique history these events initiated a process that is still ongoing in the area.

Two generations more than sixty-six per cent of the people living in the newly-created Spanish towns as well as in Mustique were mixtures between the conquering Spanish and African invaders and the subject populations.

Mixing of any sort remains a notable Mustique history characteristic.

Mustique history - learn what once happend

The history of the island of Mustique goes back to the fifteenth century when Spanish sailors first sighted a group of islands naming them 'Los Pajaros' or 'the birds' as they resembled a flock of tiny birds in flight. In the seventeenth century the islands were renamed The Grenadines by pirates who used the sheltered bays to hide their ships and treasure. The Grenadines were later utilised by European planters to grow sugar until the development in the nineteenth century of sugar beet, a sugar crop which would grow in Europe. Mustique's sugar plantations were soon abandoned and eventually swallowed up by wild jungle leaving only the sugar mill at 'Endeavor' and its 'Cotton House.' Mustique was eventually purchased in 1958 by Lord Glenconner, Colin Tennant, 3rd Baron Glenconner, under whose guidance the island began to thrive once again. HRH The Princess Margaret accepted his generous gift of a ten-acre plot of land as a wedding present in 1960 on which she built a residence called Les Jolies Eaux. In 1989 Mustique island was transformed from a family estate into a community of Vincentian people dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the island for generations to come. Today Mustique retains its natural beauty and tranquility, protecting the environment and offering the guests one of the most secure and pristine islands in the world.
