More than four thousand years old,Anguilla,a tourist destination of the world’s tourister, a small island surrounded with water in the Carribean Sea  was covered with dense forest earlier. The first Amerindian people  had discovered this small island who came from South America’s mainland.

They gave the first name called Anguilla “Malliouhana” i.e. arrow-shaped sea serpant.They gave their long life time for establishing the villages,farms and ceremonial sites to their gods.

Scientist says that Amerindians evidence has been found at eastern end of anguilla which is 3300 years old. They found the things that has been used by Amerindians in their daily life like conch shell drinking vessels,some weapons like flint blades and stone object that is pre-ceramic era .So all those things have been uncovered in Anguilla but they have no record that these groups lived on this island.

In the age of Christopher Columbus i.e.European changed the name from Malliouhana to Anguilla for its long eel shaped.

In the year 1830’s brought the union of St. Kitts -Nevis-Anguilla on Britain’s recommendation — a union protested by the majority of Anguilla’s freeholders. Anguilla was allowed one freeholder representative to the House of Assembly on the Island of St. Kitts and was mostly neglected by the tri-island legislature.

In 1958, St. Kitts -Nevis-Anguilla became part of the Federation of the West Indies. The Federation collapsed in 1962, which resulted in individual constitutions for most islands St. Kitts -Nevis-Anguilla was made an associated statehood, a political decision that sparked the Anguilla Revolution. Anguilla wanted its independence from the state and the proposed union was not a viable option for the island.

Every year May 30  is celebrated  as Anguilla Day. This day commemorates the repulsion of the Royal St. Kitts Police Force from the island. Britain intervened and a peacekeeping committee was established. Debates over Anguilla’s succession continued to be negotiated for another decade until December 19, 1980, Anguilla became a separate Dependent Territory with some measure of autonomy in Government.
