Meads Bay

The earliest inhabitants of Anguilla were Amerindian tribes from South America, commonly referred to as Arawaks, who traveled to the island on rafts and dugout canoes, settling in fishing, hunting and farming groups. The Amerindian name for the island was "Malliouhana". The earliest Amerindian’s found on Anguilla have been dated to around 1300 BC, and remains of settlements dating from 600 AD have been uncovered. Religious artefacts and remnants of ceremonies found at locations such as Big Springs and Fountain Cavern suggest that the pre-European inhabitants were extremely religious in nature. The Arawaks are said to have been later displaced by fiercer Carib tribes, but this version of events is disputed by some.
