About Curaçao
Originally home to the native Arawak people, Curaçao was discovered by the Spanish during a 1499 expedition. Dutch explorers eventually took over, and today, the island remains a constituent country of the Netherlands. Curaçao became better known as the Caribbean’s melting pot in the 1920s and 1930s, when an influx of immigrants arrived. Today, the island has a healthy tourism industry, but its economy also emphasizes financial services, oil refining, and international trade.
