History of Oranjestad


JuteVilla
The town was built around Fort Zoutman shortly after it was built in 1796 . Initially the town had no official name, being known only as the town on the Bay of Horses, a place from which native-bred horses were raised and exported to neighboring CuraƧao. The town has ever since been the capital city of the island.
