History

The Cayman Islands is not believed to have been inhabited by any indigenous tribes prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus on the islands in 1503. For more than a century, the Spanish were the only colonial power with a presence among the islands. Control of the islands changed hands from Spain to England with the Treaty of Madrid of 1670, a treaty that settled disputes between the two European powers on affairs of the Americas.
