The sovereign island country of St. Lucia is located in the eastern part of the Caribbean and it is part of the West Indies. Before it was named St. Lucia, the native people of the island who were of Amerindian descent called the Island Iyonola. The native Caribs also called the island Hewanorra. Another nickname this beautiful island had was the "Helen of the West Indies" named after Helen of Troy as the French and British constantly fought for control of the island for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archeological finds on the island suggest the Arawaks were among the earliest settlers on the island from as early as 200AD. There are sites where their detailed and developed pottery work was discovered on the island. Over the years St Lucia's major exports were sugarcane and bananas among other cash crops however in the early 20th<\/sup> century, years after St Lucia received its independence from Britain more emphasis was laid on tourism and promoting the island as a place for holidaymakers to visit. Today tourism is one of the islands' major sources of income thanks to its stunning landscape, interesting wildlife, and friendly people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
