St Croix Vacation Rentals by R&R Realty

A Brief History
St Croix has been inhabited by various indigenous groups.
Christopher Columbus arrived on the island on November 14, 1493 and was attacked by the Ay Ay or Caribs who lived at Salt River.
St Croix has been owned by various countries, including Spain, Netherlands, Knights of Malta, and Great Britain before it became a possession of France.
In 1733, France sold the island to the Danish West India Company and for nearly 200 years, the islands were known as the Danish West Indies.
The United States considered the island a strategic point for World War I and in 1916, purchased the island from Denmark for $25 million in gold.
The island’s inhabitants became American citizens in 1927.
Today, St Croix is a thriving tourist destination.
