  • Saint Kitts (also known more formally as Saint Christopher Island (Saint-Christophe in French)) is an island in the West Indies. The west side of the island borders the Caribbean Sea, and the eastern coast faces the Atlantic Ocean. Saint Kitts and the neighbouring island of Nevis constitute one country: the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. The island is one of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles. It is situated about 2,100 km (1,300 mi) southeast of Miami, Florida, and 10 km (6.2 mi) away from Sint Eustatius. The land area of St. Kitts is about 168 km2 (65 sq mi), being approximately 29 km (18 mi) long and on average about 8 km (5.0 mi) across. The first English colony was established in 1623 by Thomas Warner. This was followed in 1625 by a French colony, under Pierre Belain d'Esnambuc. The British and French briefly united to massacre the local Kalinago (fearing that the Kalinago were planning to massacre them), and then partitioned the island, with the English in the middle and the French on either end. In 1629, a Spanish force sent to clear the islands of the area of foreign settlement seized St. Kitts, but the English settlement was rebuilt following the peace between England and Spain in 1630.
