The most important British colony in the Caribbean in the 1600s was Barbados. Established in 1627, it became a key center for sugar production, which was highly profitable and drove the colony's economic growth. The cultivation of sugar relied heavily on enslaved African labor, leading to the establishment of a plantation economy that significantly influenced British colonial policies and trade in the region. Barbados served as a model for other British colonies in the Caribbean as they developed similar agricultural practices.
Barbados is most commonly referred to as "Bim". It is also referred to as "Bimshire" and "Little England". Originally, the name Barbados came from "Los Barbados" or "The Bearded One" because of the bearded fig trees.
