It is said, The Caribs did not live in Antigua, instead they fished and foraged on the island, and the author of Antigua & the Antiguans says, their traditions recognized that there was a ‘cosmic’ influence over the island.

The British flag was planted in St. Kitts by Warner before sending his men to Antigua.
The British Horatio Nelson chose English Harbour to entrench his naval troops and ships used to expand British colonial rule in the region.
St.John’s, Antigua was chosen by the British as the capital, the seat of colonial power of the Leeward Islands comprising Dominica, St.Kitts/Nevis/Anguilla, Montserrat & the British Virgin Islands/Tortola.
In more recent times, the US, after World War 11, in consideration of their own security, and with the consent of our British overlords, established a chain of Military Bases in the Caribbean. Ocho Rios Jamaica, St, Lucia; Grenada and Chagaramus Trinidad, and building their Military headquarters in Antigua.
Later, the U.S. involved their Antigua base in Space Exploration, making Antigua the first place on earth that a signal from outer space hit earth, bouncing off to Patrick Airforce Base in Florida.
In spite of all this, Antigua does not recognize its logistical significance in the chain of Caribbean islands.
The movement of people into Antigua over the years has been phenomenal, with the Americans ‘discovering’ the beauty and calm of Antigua, building vacation homes on the Eastern tip of the island, where they established Mill Reef Club.
Soon after the abandoned Nelson’s Dockyard was visited by the Nicholson family enroute to Australia.
Their trip was curtailed in Antigua, where the two sons were lucky to get wives from two millionaire families of the Mill Reef settlement, and Australia was forgotten as they settled in the Dockyard offering yacht charter tours to the budding elite tourists brought by Mill Reefers.
