Aruba, an island slightly larger than Washington, DC, lies 18 mi (28.9 km) off the coast of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean. The Arawak Indians were the first inhabitants of Aruba. Spain explored the island in 1499, and more than a century later the Netherlands (1636) claimed the island. After a brief rule by the British, the Dutch again took control of the island in 1816, and it officially became part of the Netherlands Antilles in 1845.
Arubans feel their nation is one of a kind on the planet and in the Caribbean, that it appreciates a permanent wonderful ocean and daylight, and that numerous nationalities live in agreement. Aruba is a pleased nation, its banners pronounced, monetarily stable in view of tourism and industry. Since Aruba is a serene Mecca for people around the globe, the splendid blue of the United Nations banner was a perfect match. In 1986, Aruba obtained autonomous status, the result of a popular movement led by the People’s Electoral Movement (Movimento Electoral di Pueblo) to break away from Curaçaoanâ€"rather than from Dutchâ€"domination.
The banner of Aruba was formally embraced on March 18, 1976, alongside the official song of praise "Aruba Dushi Tera". The four hues each have importance. The blue reflects the ocean that encompasses Aruba; yellow is the shade of wealth, reflecting the island's past and its businesses of gold, aloe and oil; red is for the love each Aruban has for the nation and the business of Brazilwood; and white symbolizes the snow-white shorelines and the clearness of the hearts of Aruba's people.
Putting the star in the flag implied it would be seen notwithstanding when the banner is moving in the breeze. The star has four focuses. Recommending a compass with its four points to North, South, East, and West, recognizing that Arubans originated from numerous countries keeping in mind the goal to live in solidarity and quality.
The star is red because much of the soil of Aruba is red, but it is bordered in white to suggest the waves beating on its white beaches. The red soil of the interior ends with white beaches before the blue sea -- a symbol of the island itself. And the star refers also to the island's unity, diversity, vigor, and beauty.
Within three decades Aruba became an island with probably the highest standard of living in the West Indies. The illiteracy rate, for example, is exceptionally low. Today tourism has become the major factor in the island's economy with many major hotel chains setting up in Aruba. In just a few short years, Aruba has become one of the most popular vacation spots in the Caribbean, with visitor figures approaching a million annually.
