We have been serving Anguilla for over 50 years. Being the first and only post office on Island. The island was first settled in 1650. Until 1825 it was administered by Britain through Antigua. In 1825 it was placed under the administrative control of St Kitts. In 1967 the island declared self independence and briefly called itself the "Republic of Anguilla". Their goal was to be independent from St Kitts and remain a British colony. British authority was restored in 1971 and the island was granted limited self-government in 1976.
