| Discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 on a
Sunday, hence the Spanish name "Dominica," this island has remained the most
undeveloped island of the Caribbean. Due to their poison arrows and powerful forces as
well as the cover of thick rain forests, the Carib Indians successfully kept Spain, France
and Britian from settling the island until 1903 when British forces made the Caribs
respect certain boundaries. In 1978 Dominica declared independence from Britian.
