| Background: | English and Irish colonists from St. Kitts first settled on Montserrat in 1632; the first African slaves arrived three decades later.

The island's sugar plantation economy was converted to small farm landholdings in the mid 19th century.

Montserrat has endured volcanic activity since , with the last eruption occurring in July 2003. |
