History of the Community
Community Overview
Integration has always been at the nucleus of our existence as a Caribbean Community. In the seminal 2005 publication titled, CARICOM, Our Caribbean Community: An Introduction it is recorded that the Windward Islands – Grenada, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent, and Tobago (until 1889) – were governed by the Windward Islands Federation during the period 1833 to 1958. Similarly, the British governed Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Montserrat, and St Kitt-Nevis-Anguilla under the Leeward Island Federation from 1871-1956, with Dominica shifting to the Windward Island Federation in 1939. About five years earlier, leaders in the labour movement started discussing the idea of a West Indies Federation.
