Our Island, Our Home
St. Barts island was originally called “Ouanalao” by the Caribs Tribe, who lived here on the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1493. He renamed the island as St. Barthélemy, in honor of his brother Bartoloméo Columbus. By the middle of the XVII century, the French had colonized the island, but for financial & piracy reasons, the St Barts administration was traded to Sweden by the king Louis XVI in 1794. From this administration by the Sweden kingdom comes the name of the capital of St Barts, Gustavia, as the architectural influence and many of the street names. The island was sold back to France in 1877 and has remained under French administration. That is why the official language in St Barts is French, and the currency is the Euro. ...Read less.
