About Curaçao
Curacao is a wonderful holiday destination. While it is situated over 5,000 miles from the Netherlands, this constituent country belongs to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. As part of the Netherlands Antilles, it is located about 50 miles off the coast of South America at the height of Venezuela. It belongs to the Leeward Antilles.
The heritage of the island is partly European and partly African, and houses more than 50 nationalities. Since the Netherlands have exercised their influence over 375 years, the island is for the Dutch very recognizable and familiar.
Historie Jan Thiel
In 1634 werd Curaçao door de Nederlanders veroverd van de Spanjaarden.
De lagune ten westen van de Caracasbaai – Jan Thiel Zoutpannen – was een van de belangrijkste zoutmeren op het eiland. Tegen het eind van de 17e eeuw werd tussen de lagune en de Caracasbaai de plantage Damasco opgezet. Het gebied is vernoemd naar de eerst bekende eigenaar, Jan Thielen.
