∙ 14y agoAruba has a diverse cultural background. The modern day Aruban is a blend of over 40 nationalities in addition to the original Arawak inhabitants. The population is estimated to be 80 percent mixed Amerindian European ancestry and 20 percent other ethnicities.
Aruba's first inhabitants were Arawak Indians who had migrated from the Orinoco Basin in South America. Spanish explorer Alonso de Ojeda [c. 1466-1515] came across Aruba in 1499 while exploring nearby Venezuela. Spain was in control of Aruba until 1636 when the Dutch gained control of the island. The United Kingdom occupied Aruba from 1799 to 1802 and again from 1805 to 1816. Aruba then returned to Dutch rule until the island gained autonomy on January 1, 1986.
