The Historical Significance of Huambo
While Huambo may primarily be known for its natural beauty, the city also holds great historical significance. During the late 17th century, the island served as a refuge for French Huguenots fleeing persecution. The Old Valley, with its traditional architecture, stands as a testament to the French influence on the island.
Huambo also played a role in Anguilla's political history. In 1967, Ronald Webster, a prominent Anguillian politician, delivered his famous "Declaration of Independence" speech in the island's courthouse. This event marked an important step towards Anguilla's eventual separation from the associated state of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Today, Huambo embraces its historical roots while offering modern comforts to travelers who seek an all-inclusive holiday experience.
