St. John Live Cam

The smallest of the three main islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands



History

St. John, the smallest of the three main islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands, boasts a history that is deeply intertwined with colonization, slavery, and the sugar trade. The island was first inhabited by the Taíno, the indigenous people of the Caribbean, long before European settlers arrived. The Taíno people lived in harmony with the island's lush environment, relying on fishing, agriculture, and trade.
