Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy
Gustavia is the main town and capital of the island of Saint Barthélemy (often abbreviated to ''Saint-Barth'' in French, or St. Barts in English). It was named after King Gustav III of Sweden. ==History== Saint Barthélemy was first claimed by France, in 1648. The island was given to Sweden in exchange for trade rights in Gothenburg in 1784 and Sweden founded the Swedish West India Company. Prospering during the Napoleonic Wars, assets were low thereafter, and the island was sold back to France in 1878. The eventual site of Gustavia was first called ''Le Carénage'' after the shelter it provided to damaged ships. According to the archives the name ''Gustavia'' appeared between December 28, 1786 and February 9, 1787. Gustavia remains as a reflection of the Swedish period. Three forts built in the mid- to late 17th century protected the harbour: Oscar (formerly Gustav Adolf), Karl and Gustav. The Anglican Episcopal Church on the harbourfront was built in 1855.
