Aruba doesn't have an Independence Day ... yet. The closest thing to it is flag day every March 18th or autonomy day every January 1st.

Specifically, the island has been largely under Dutch control since 1636. Aruba gained autonomy in most internal affairs from the Netherlands on January 1, 1986. But the Kingdom of the Netherlands controls defense, foreign affairs, final judicial review, and such Kingdom matters as human rights and good governance. The movement toward independence was halted in 1990 upon the request of Aruba's Prime Minister Nelson Orlando Oduber [b. 1947].
