A little bit about some of Belize’s history: The history of Belize dates back thousands of
years. The Maya civilization spread into the area of Belize between 1500 BC to 1200 BC
and flourished until about 1000 AD. Several Maya sites, including Cahal Pech, Caracol,
Lamanai, Lubaantun, Altun Ha, and Xunantunich reflect the advanced civilization and
much denser population of that period. The first recorded European settlement was
established by shipwrecked English seamen in 1638. Over the next 150 years, more
English settlements were established. During this time was when our African ancestors
also were forced to come here as enslaved persons. This period also was marked by
piracy, indiscriminate logging, sporadic attacks by natives, and neighboring Spanish
settlements.
