Christopher Columbus discovered the Islands in 1502 while on his fourth voyage which at the time were occupied by the Paya Indians.

During the next century, these fertile islands were used to provision Spanish galleons.

The first peaceful settlers were Puritan farmers, landing in 1638 from Maryland. In the early to mid 1800's, strong imigration occurred from Grand Cayman and England to the Bay Islands.

 In fact, most of the modern Bay Island communities were established during this period and the majority of the native Bay Islanders today trace their ancestry to these early 19th century families.
