While the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus is credited with establishing a Spanish colony on Trinidad in 1498, it remained distinctly different from Tobago until 1889. They became independent of the British in 1962 and became a republic in 1976. However, back during the French Revolution, French planters migrated to the island of Trinidad and established such communities as Carenage, Laventille, Champs Fleurs, and Blanchisseuse.
