Antigua and Barbuda tourist information with details about travel to and around the islands. Where to stay and what to see is made easier with insider tips and hand-selected Antigua and Barbuda links, by dedicated editors and visitors to TravelNotes.org - The Online Guide to Travel. The independent island state of Antigua and Barbuda includes the uninhabited rocky islet of Redonda to the south-west. When Christopher Columbus landed on the island he called Antigua, in 1493, it was inhabited by the fierce Carib tribe. They hindered colonisation of the island until the British established a settlement there in 1632.
Thirty years later, settlers from Antigua moved north to establish a presence on Barbuda too. Antigua and Barbuda became an independent state on November 1, 1981.
