Best Answer

Oranjestad is Aruba's capital city, and both Dutch and Papiamento are Aruba's official languages.

Specifically, Oranjestad's history as one of Aruba's important cities dates back to its founding in 1796. The name, which is the Dutch word for "Orange Town," reflects the island's historic and ongoing Dutch influences. One such influence is evidenced also in the choice of official language: the local Caribbean language called Papiamento shares national status with the Dutch language of the island's main European colonizers.
