When he discovered Martinique in 1493, Christopher Columbus, said it was ‘the most beautiful country in the world’, naming it in honour of St Martin. Before then, the area was inhabited by Arawak and Carib Indians and was called Madinina (‘island of flowers’) by the native population.Though the British made brief attempts to occupy the island during the 18th and 19th centuries, it has remained under French control since 1635 (along with Guadeloupe).
