British Virgin Islands
In 1666 British planters took over control of the island group from the original
Dutch settlers. The islands attained the status of British colony, and remained
part of the Leeward Islands from 1872 until 1956, when the British Virgin Islands
became a separately administered entity. To preserve its close economic ties with
the U.S. Virgin Islands, the group did not join the 1958-1962 West Indies Federation
of British Virgin Islands. In 1967, a new constitution provided for a ministerial
system of government headed by a Chief Minister. The island group remains
under British control today.
