A small island of 91 km2 surrounded by flat white coral reefs, it is part of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles. It has a population of 10,000 (1994). Its capital is The Valley. There is little land suitable for agriculture, but cotton and other food crops are mainly grown. It has been a British colony since 1650, and in 1967, along with the neighboring islands of St. Kitts and Nevis, it joined the United Provinces of the West Indies, but declared independence the same year. However, Britain did not recognize it, and in 1969 it was separated from the other two islands and became a British dependency, and this status was confirmed in February 1976 by the new Anguilla Constitution.
