The Virgin Islands is an archipelago in the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean Sea. The islands are divided into two parts, one of which is administered by the United Kingdom and the other by the United States.
Christopher Columbus named the islands Santa Ursula y las Once Mil Vírgenes (shortened to Las Vírgenes), after Saint Ursula and her 11,000 virgins. They were inhabited by Arawak, Carib and Cermic Indians, all of whom died out during the colonial period from disease, harsh labor conditions, and murder.
The islands were later populated by Africans who were enslaved on sugar plantations, and on at least one tobacco plantation. The sugar plantations are now gone, but the descendants of the slaves are still there, sharing a common Afro Caribbean heritage with the rest of the English speaking Caribbean.
On both the British and the US Virgin Islands, vehicles are driven on the left-hand side of the road, yet most cars on the islands have their steering wheels on the left side (as is the norm for drive-on-the-right localities). Also on both the British and the USA Virgin Islands, the United States dollar is the official currency.
The islands of Vieques and Culebra to the east of Puerto Rico (and territorially part of it), are locally called the Spanish Virgin Islands.
Virgin Islander culture represents the various peoples that have inhabited the present-day U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands throughout history. Although both countries are politically separate, they maintain close cultural ties.
Like most of the English speaking Caribbean, Virgin Islander culture derives chiefly from West African, European, and American influences.
