History of Mero

JuteVilla
Though Arawak tribes once inhabited Dominica, the Carib Indians either killed them or drove them away. By the time Columbus arrived in 1493 the Caribs were firmly in control of the island. Though many Spanish ships sailed to this island, the Caribs continuously kept any would-be settlers at bay.

The Arawak tribe that originally settled the island was known as the Orinoco, but the Kalinago tribe of Caribs took control of the island. The Caribs gave Dominica the name "Wai'tukubuli," meaning "Tall is her body."
