Travel To Barbados | History And Documentary About Barbados In English | Adventures Tribe
Barbados is an eastern Caribbean island and an independent British Commonwealth nation. The capital, Bridgetown, is a cruise-ship port with colonial buildings and Nidhe Israel, a synagogue founded in 1654. Around the island are beaches, botanical gardens, the Harrison’s Cave formation, and 17th-century plantation houses like St. Nicholas Abbey. Local traditions include afternoon tea and cricket, the national sport.
Inhabited by Kalinago people since the 13th century, and before that by other Indigenous peoples, Barbados was claimed for the Crown of Castile by Spanish navigators in the late 15th century. It first appeared on a Spanish map in 1511.
The Portuguese Empire claimed the island between 1532 and 1536, but abandoned it in 1620, with their only remnants being the introduction of wild boars to supply a source of meat whenever the island was visited. An English ship, the Olive Blossom, arrived in Barbados on 14 May 1625; its men took possession of the island in the name of King James I.
In 1627, the first permanent settlers arrived from England, and Barbados became an English and later British colony. During this period, the colony operated on a plantation economy, relying on the labour of African slaves who worked on the island's plantations. Slavery continued until it was phased out through most of the British Empire by the Slavery Abolition Act 1833.
