|
Antigua is an island in the West Indies, in the Leeward Islands
in the Caribbean region, the main island of the country of Antigua and
Barbuda. Antigua means "ancient" in Spanish and was named by Christopher
Columbus after an icon in Seville Cathedral, Santa Maria de la Antigua —
St. Mary the Ancient. It is also known as Wadadli, from the
original Amerindian inhabitants, and means approximately "our own".
The island's circumference is roughly 87 km (54 mi) and its
area 281 km2 (108 sq mi). Its population was about 69,000 as
of July 2006. It is the largest of the Leeward Islands, and the
most developed and prosperous due to its upscale tourism industry,
offshore banking, internet gambling services and education services,
including two medical schools.
