Antigua is an island between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, east-southeast of Puerto Rico. The Spanish discovered Antigua in 1493, christened after Santa Maria de la Antigua, a church in Sevilla. The island was settled by the British, lead by Sir Thomas Warner, in 1632…..

In 1871, the island colonies of Antigua (with Barbuda), Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands and Dominica were joined to form the Federation Leewards Islands Colony; it's seat of administration was St. John's on Antigua. In 1958, the Federated Leeward Islands Colony was dissolved, and Antigua joined the Federation of the West Indies. It was dissolved in 1962. http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/caribbean/xantigua.html

Antigua & Barbuda became an independent state within the British Commonwealth of Nations in 1981.
