The Dutch referred to Mauritius as "Mauritsstad" or "Mauritius" in honor of Prince Maurits of Nassau-Siegen. The island was initially named "Mauritius" when it was discovered in 1598, but the term "Mauritsstad" was later used for the capital they established there. The Dutch colonized Mauritius in the 17th century, primarily using it as a waystation for their trade routes.
Mauritius was colonized by several powers over its history. The Portuguese were the first to visit in the 16th century, but they did not establish a settlement. The Dutch colonized the island in the 17th century, followed by the French in the 18th century, who developed sugar plantations. Finally, the British took control of Mauritius in 1810, and it remained a British colony until gaining independence in 1968.
