Local Area
"Turks" is derived from the indigenous Turk's Head "fez" cactus; "caicos" is a term of the Lucayan Indians, "cava hico," which means string of islands. The islands were originally inhabited by Indian tribes, the Taínos and the Lucayans.
Legends differ regarding European discovery of the islands – Columbus is reputed to have discovered the tranquil treasure in 1492, while other stories credit Ponce de Leon with the find.
During the 17th century, the island relied upon agricultural exports from the rich cotton and sisal plantations. After the hurricane of 1813, the island turned to solar salt – a popular type of sea salt produced through solar evaporation. Today, tourism and lobster and conch exports chiefly fuel the islands' economy.
The Turks and Caicos endured several peaceful shifts in power throughout the 1700s and 1800s. During the 1970s, the islands became a British Crown Colony.
