In 1635 France claimed Dominica along with all the other &#8216;Petite Antilles&#8217; but no settlement was attempted. Between 1642 and 1650 a French missionary Raymond Breton became the first regular European visitor to the island.

Though Arawak tribes once inhabited Dominica, the Carib (kalinago) Indians either killed them or drove them away. There is an old history myth that the Caribs would eat the Arawak men and would take their wives. But by the time Columbus arrived in 1493 the Caribs were firmly in control of the island.
