Tobago was originally populated by the Igneri, a relatively peaceful Arawak subgroup, and Caribs. Most historians believe Tobago was visited in 1498 by Columbus, who supposedly dubbed it "Bella Forma" (beautiful form). Its present name was derived from the word tobacco, which the Caribs cultivated. In 1641 a Baltic duke received permission to settle a number of Courlanders on the north side of the island, but the Dutch took over in 1658, remaining in control until 1662. For the next few centuries the island changed hands at least a dozen times among world powers who considered the island a treasure worth fighting for. The Dutch, French, and English fought each other for control of the island, and there were also pirate invasions and settlers from Latvia. Some of the conflicts had the stuff of legend about them. Bloody Bay, on the island's north coast, earned its name after a 17th-century clash between combined French and Dutch forces against a British fleet (the latter was the victor). History records that the battle was so "sanguinary" that the water became red with blood. In the battle of Roodklyn Bay, another ferocious struggle between the Dutch and the French, more than 1,700 people died.

Eventually Tobago was declared neutral territory and promptly became a haven for pirates and treasure hunters. (In fact, rumors of treasure still buried on Pirate's Bay are abound today.) During the early 19th century, Tobago was a leading contender in the British and French sugar-cane industry, producing more sugar per square hectare than any other island. When the sugar industry went bust, Tobago also went bankrupt, and in 1888 the island was tacked to nearby Trinidad by a British colonial government who didn't know what to do with it. In 1962 both islands gained independence from Britain and became a republic within the Common wealth in 1976. Today Tobago has its own 12-seat House of Assembly, which runs many local services. waiton the Lord wait on the Lord wait on the Lord wait on the Lord wait onthe Lord
