Discovered in 1498, a 1609 English attempt to settle the island was unsuccessful due to the hostility of the Caribs. In 1650 a French company purchased Grenada from
England; in 1762 France ceded Grenada to Britain.
In the late 18th century, the Government of Grenada included Dominica, St. Vincent and Tobago. From 1833 to 1958 Grenada was part of the Windward Islands Colony.
Grenada was granted autonomy in 1967, full independence in 1974. In 1979 the island nation was invaded by U.S. forces. Historical Atlas, British Empire - the Caribbean Page |
