Very little is known about the early history of Jamaica, apart from the Arawaks being the first inhabitants of the island, and named the island “Xaymaca”. In 1494, Christopher Columbus discovered the island while he was on his second American exploration voyage. Christopher Columbus renamed the island Santiago, however this never stuck, and the name reverted to Xaymaca.

The Spanish arrived on the island, and enslaved many of the indigenous people either sending them to Spain, or making them work on the island. By 1600 the entire native population was wiped out. In 1645 the British captured Jamaica from the Spanish, however the former slaves refused to surrender and took to the mountains. There was heavy pirate activity between 1660 and 1670, and in 1670 Spain formally surrendered Jamaica to the British.

Two years after the British took the island, The Royal Africa Company was formed, it used Jamaica as its primary market and Jamaica became a center of slave trading in the West Indies.

Settlers came to the island, opened up plantations and used slaves to grow sugar, cocoa, indigo and coffee. The island was very wealthy up until the abolition of the slave trade in 1807, when sugar prices fell and caused widespread suffering due to the worsening economic situation.

Jamaica saw several uprisings including two of the major ones which were in 1865, and 1938, after these riots a new Jamaica began to evolve, and the two now political parties were established: The Jamaica Labour Party, and The Peoples’ National Party.

Jamaica petitioned for independence from British rule, and in 1962 raised its own national flag, with the first president being Alexander Bustamante. Up until today the government has only changed hands between the two main parties.
