Trinidad and Tobago (neighbouring islands) lie off the coast of Venezuela and form an independent republic within the Commonwealth. Trinidad was discovered by Columbus and colonized by Spain. In 1797 it was captured by Sir Ralph Abercromby and ceded in 1802. Tobago, originally a Dutch colony, was taken from the French in 1793, restored by the treaty of Amiens in 1802, and recaptured in 1803. The islands were united in 1888 and became independent in 1962. The capital is Port of Spain and the population is more than 1¼ million. The main economic resources are oil, natural gas, and tourism.
