In the days prior to the Europeans, the Carib Indians were native to St. Barts Island for hundreds of years. The small island was called St. Barts Ouanaloa, but Christopher Columbus changed the name after arriving in 1493. The French were the first major European power to take an interest in St. Barts Island. The French were intrigued by St. Barts Island’s special location within the West Indian Trade Route. Despite the lack of agricultural prosperity, the well-situated island post offered access to shipping lanes in a tumultuous and profitable part of the world. Disputes with natives on St. Barts Island were finally extinquished in the late 17th century with the establishment of a more formal colony.
St. Barts was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and was allegedly named after his brother Bartoloméo. The first plane did not land on the island until the 1940's when a Dutch pilot, Rémy de Haenen, made a daring landing on the pasture in St. Jean where the airport sits today. The runway was eventually paved but people continued to wait for flights under a tree until a terminal was constructed in the 1980's.
