Saba
Saba was sighted by Columbus, Drake, and two Dutch explorers, but it remained unexplored until 1632 when an English ship was wrecked here. They discovered traces of Indian houses, but the island was deserted.
Colonization on this tiny rock began just over 70 years ago, when the French claimed the island, though the Dutch first settled here. Crops of sugar and indigo grow well on the volcanic slopes, though the small island cannot support large quantities of either.
The island has changed hands several times, but it is currently a Dutch possession.
