Nevis Historical & Conservation Society - Museum Of Nevis History The political history of nevis is featured in exhibitions raising has been importantand nevis has supplied beef, pork and mutton for the regional export market http://www.nevis-nhcs.org/nevishistory.html
Extractions: L ocated in Charlestown, the museum interprets the History and Culture of Nevis and the life of Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the United States Treasury. T he Island of Nevis formed in a series of volcanic eruptions over a period of approximately 3 1/2 million years, however, it has been .98 million years since the last eruption. Despite this the Island is still volcanically active as evidenced at Bath Spring and several near shore underwater sites. A rchaeological excavations reveal that the first inhabitants came to Nevis about 4,000 years ago. These people relied heavily on the sea and traveled between islands in boats crafted from huge trees. The Museum features artifacts left from these first indigenous people who were followed by civilizations of people who left a series of ceramic styles. S ome issues of conservation concern have been incorporated into the exhibitions at the Museum of Nevis History. These are soil and forest conservation, conservation of the wetlands and sea. Wetland areas at Gallows Bay, Pinneys Pond, Nelson Spring and Newcastle Bay play an important role in protecting land and sea. Coastal wetlands protect land from swells and absorb silt and other pollutants that damage the sea; properly managed they can be tourist attractions. The sea regulates land temperature, provides recreation and seafood as well as an avenue for transportation. Now, the sea is endangered from human activities.

The History Of CARICOM THE history OF CARICOM. Kitts/nevis/Anguilla, Saint Lucia and St. Conference was theestablishment of the Commonwealth Caribbean regional Secretariat on May 1 http://www.caricom.org/history.htm
Extractions: THE HISTORY OF CARICOM T he establishment of the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) was the result of a 15-year effort to fulfil the hope of regional integration which was born with the establishment of the British West Indies Federation in 1958. It was a Federal Government drawn from 10 member islands. Although a plan for a Customs Union was drawn up, emphasis was not placed on economic aspects of Federation during the four years of its existence. Economically the Region remained as it had been for centuries and not even Free Trade was introduced between the Member Countries during this period. The West Indies Federation came to an end in 1962 but its end, in many ways must be regarded as the real beginning of what is now the Caribbean Community. T he end of the Federation meant the beginning of more serious efforts on the part of the political leaders in the Caribbean to strengthen the ties between the islands and mainland by providing for the continuance and strengthening of the areas of cooperation that existed during the Federation. To this end in mid-1962 a Common Services Conference was called to take decisions on these services, the major ones among them being the University of the West Indies (UWI), founded in 1948 and the Regional Shipping Services set up during the Federation to control the operation of the two ships donated in 1962 by the government of Canada - the Federal Palm and the Federal Maple.

Extractions: Activities The main town in the area is the bustling Fort William from where the magical 'Road to the Isles' heads west to the fishing port of Mallaig. On the way, you'll be treated to spectacular views of the Small Isles: Muck, Eigg and Rhum. Also found here are crystal clear bays near Arisaig and the golden sands of Morar. Glen Coe means many things to different people. Historically, the 1692 massacre of the MacDonalds by the Campbells is commemorated by a monument and visitor centre near the Clachaig Inn. For walkers and climbers, Glen Coe offers its own special challenges. Skiers can choose between the White Corries ski area near Glen Coe and Aonach Mor, just north of Fort William, while cyclists can explore the recently developed Great Glen Cycle Route. For a more leisurely day, why not take a trip out to Ardnamurchan Point, the most westerly point on the British mainland? Glenfinnan Monument A superb setting at the head of Loch Shiel for the monument commemorating those who fought and died in the Jacobite rising.

Extractions: home search help worldguide ... Postcards St Kitts, settled by Sir Thomas Warner in 1623, was the site of the first British colony in the West Indies. The following year the French also settled part of St Kitts, a situation Warner tolerated in part to gain an upper hand against the native Caribs living on the island. After they massacred the Caribs in a series of battles, the British and French turned on each other and St Kitts changed hands between the two several times before the 1783 Treaty of Paris brought the island firmly under British control. Sugar plantations thrived on St Kitts during this era. Nevis has a similar history. In 1628 Sir Warner sent a party of about 100 colonists to establish a British settlement on the western coast. Although their original settlement, near Cotton Ground, was destroyed in an earthquake in 1680, Nevis went on to prosper, developing one of the most affluent plantation societies in the Eastern Caribbean. As on St Kitts, most of the island's wealth was built upon the labor of African slaves toiling in the island's sugar cane fields. The local tourist industry got its start in the late 18th century on Nevis, where thermal baths made it a popular retreat for Britain's elite. In 1816, the British linked St Kitts and Nevis with Anguilla and the Virgin Islands as a single colony. In 1958 these islands became part of the West Indies Federation, a grand but unsuccessful attempt to combine all of Britain's Caribbean colonies into a united political entity. When the federation dissolved in 1962, the British opted to lump St Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla together as a new state.

Extractions: Anguilla The first Amerindians settled on Anguilla about 3500 years ago. Archaeological finds indicate that the island was a regional center for the Arawak Indians, who had sizable villages at Sandy Ground, Meads Bay, Rendezvous Bay and Island Harbour. The Carib Indians, who eventually overpowered the Arawaks, called the island Malliouhana. Early Spanish explorers named the island Anguilla, which means 'eel,' apparently because of its elongated shape. The British established the first permanent European colony on Anguilla in 1650, and despite a few invasion attempts by the French, it has remained a Crown Colony ever since. While arid conditions thwarted the development of large plantations, the island did become an exporter of tobacco, cotton and salt. In the early 1800s Anguilla's population began to taper off from a peak of 10,500, and the island slid into a slow decline, largely forgotten by the rest of the world. In 1967, Britain sought to loosen its colonial ties by lumping Anguilla into an alignment with the islands of St Kitts and Nevis, the nearest British dependencies. The intent was for the three islands to form a new Caribbean nation, the Associated State of St Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla, with Britain continuing to hold the reins on foreign affairs and defense. Anguillians wanted no part of the new state, which they viewed as subjugation to St Kitts, their more powerful neighbor. Within a few months, the Anguillians had armed themselves and revolted, forcing St Kitts police off the island and blocking the runway to prevent a 'reinvasion' by Kittitian forces.

Extractions: By Janette Hull A Nation that encourages sports and gives encouragement to its athletes is enriched in many ways. We make friends through sports. More nations are brought together by sports like cricket, football, athletics, softball, netball and many more. Netball is one of the many games played in Nevis, but not many Nevisians know the role this game has played over the years, nor even how it started. Did you know that netball has put Nevis on the world map? If not, please read on. Netball originated in the United States of America, and was introduced to the Caribbean by Physical education officers from England who came to the Islands on teaching assignments. Althought the game is played in the USA , it is not popular, whereas it is popular in the United Kingdom. Netball in Nevis is without a doubt the outstanding womens sport. Prior to 1950 Netball was introduced and played by the Excelsior School on the grounds of St Pauls Rectory. An annual competition was held between the Excelsior School of Nevis and the Girls High School from St Kitts. 1939 - 1940 saw a change. Schools no longer exchanged visits, but ex-pupils from the Excelsior School and the Girls High School played matches in both islands with Nevis always winning. 1945 - 1955 teams from the Charlestown Girls School and ex -pupils from the Charlestown Secondary School practiced at Liburds Yard (the ground on which the Administration Building now stands).
