Peacefully inhabited by the Arawak Indians followed by the cannibalistic and warring Caraïbes, the Island was sighted by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and named in honor of his brother " Bartholomeo ". St. Barthelemy (St. Barths) became a French Colony in the 17th century but French attempts at colonization were made so difficult that in 1785 Louis XVI traded the Island to the King of Sweden in exchange for warehouses in Gothenburg.
At first, the economy flourished (St. Barths became a duty free port), but it was soon followed by a serious decline and the Swedes gave the Island back to the French in 1877. It became part of the Department of Guadeloupe in 1946.
The majority of the population of St. Barths trace their roots to the first French settlers.
This tiny island covers 10 sq miles and enjoys a superb yet dry climate.
Although lack of rain limits the luxuriance of floral vegetation the island still remains a feast for the eyes with tropical birds and a breathtaking underwater world of flora and fauna.
The ambiance of the island is very natural and pure despite being a Jet set destination.
