Historical Aruba The very first inhabitants of the island are believed to have come from Venezuela, a short hop away by canoe. The first European to 'discover' the island was Amerigo Vespucci in 1499, whilst looking for gold, although the precious metal was not discovered for another 300 years. After a brief period under Spanish rule, the island passed over to Dutch authority, where it has remained. Efforts have been made to gain independence, but at this time, the island remains a Dutch colony. What to see and do Watersports and diving are very popular on the island as is walking. Historical sights worth seeing are the 'Pilgrim's church' originally built in 1750 and the California lighthouse is named after a shipwreck. The Arikok National Park is a must see for nature lovers.
