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

Anguilla history - learn what once happend
Anguilla used to tout itself as the Caribbean's best-kept secret. Small, serene, and secluded, visitors could enjoy the privacy of small-island life and still be close to St. Maarten/St. Martin, with its gambling, shopping, and nightlife. However, the island's secret was let out in the 1990s when the opening of some superdeluxe (and superexpensive) hotels attracted a sophisticated jet set. Now one of the Caribbean's most chic destinations -- rivaling even St. Barts (a prettier island and just as luxurious) -- Anguilla has nonetheless remained tranquil. If you're looking to rest, unwind, and be pampered, this is the place for you. Once part of the federation with St. Kitts and Nevis, Anguilla gained its independence in 1980 and has since been a self-governing British possession. In 1996, however, London issued a policy statement that locals have viewed as a move to push them toward independence. Many Anguillians believe that Britain has now reduced its global ambitions and wants to relinquish colonies that have become too expensive to maintain. Though islanders may fear going it alone as a nation, they know that to retain Britain's protection, they would also have to abide by British laws -- including its liberal position on gay rights. For the most part, islanders remain archly conservative and often homophobic.
