Did you know? St. Croix, the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, was home to Carib, Arawak, Dutch, French, British, and Spanish settlers when the island was bought by the Danish in 1733! Sugar was the main industry into the 19th century, and slaves were imported to provide labor for the island’s plantations. Slavery ended in 1848. In 1916 St. Croix was sold and purchased by the United States.
