The history of the early settlement of Barbados is being rewritten as a result of recent archaeological discoveries unearthed at the site of Port St. Charles. Artifacts and evidence point to settlement sometime around 1623 B.C. The island was given the name Los Barbados after strong similarities to the ficus trees on the island whose aerial roots look like beards.
The first indigenous people were Amerindians who arrived here from Venezuela. Paddling long dugout canoes they crossed oceans and currents that challenge modern sailing vessels. On the north end of Venezuela, a narrow sea channel called the Dragon's mouth acts as a funnel to the Caribbean sea and the nearest Island of Trinidad.
After being a British colony, Barbados moved toward the institutionalisation of an independent nation. 1834 saw the emancipation of slaves, 1944 saw women being allowed their constitutional right to vote and 1951, the year of universal adult suffrage. With the birth of the two-party system and a cabinet government during the 1950's, Barbados was well prepared for independence which was granted on November 30, 1966.
The national banner of Barbados comprises of three equivalent vertical boards - the middle board of gold and the external boards of ultramarine. In the focal point of the banner is the area of the softened trident in a black and yellow stripe.
The blue stripe means the sky and the yellow/gold stripe symbolizes the sand and the shorelines of the island. The right blue stripe remains for the ocean. The dark trident amidst the banner reflects Barbados freedom from the British. Every point of the trident show the three standards of majority rules system which are an administration of, for and by the Barbados people.
The Trident is also a symbol of the mythical sea god, Neptune. The broken shaft of the trident denotes Barbados' break from Britain. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize for the future.
