Aruba was colonized by three different countries. The colonial countries were as follows:

1. Aruba was a Spanish colony from 1499 to 1636.

2. The Netherlands gained control of Aruba in 1636.

3. Control briefly passed to the British from 1799 to 1802 and again from 1805 to 1816.

The Netherlands regained control of the island in 1816. On January 1, 1986, Aruba became an autonomous state within the Kingdon of the Netherlands.
