The first Europeans to colonize Jamaica were the Spanish in 1494, when Columbus claimed Jamaica for Spain. However, the Spanish were evicted by the British in 1655. To this day, Jamaica's official language is still English. Jamaica is also a Commonwealth realm, with Queen Elizabeth II as head of state.
