They are found on the leeward side of the Lesser Antilles and to the east of Puerto Rico and also to the west of the British Islands. It occupies up to 346.36km2.
The Virgin Islands were initially occupied by Ciboney and the Arawaks as early as 1000 BC.

Later in 1625, the French and the English started trickling in on St. Croix.
