Anguilla was first colonised by English settlers from Saint Kitts, beginning in 1650. Other early arrivals included Europeans from Antigua and Barbados. It is likely that some of these early Europeans brought enslaved Africans with them. Historians confirm that African slaves lived in the region in the early seventeenth century. For example, Africans from Senegal lived in St. Christopher (today St. Kitts) in 1626. By 1672 a slave depot existed on the island of Nevis, serving the Leeward Islands.

In 1825, against the wishes of the islanders, Anguilla became incorporated with St Kitts and Nevis. Politics on the island since then has been dominated by this issue. In 1872 an unsuccessful petition was sent to the British Colonial Office, asking for separate status and direct rule from Britain. In 1958 the islanders formally petitioned the governor, again unsuccessfully, requesting a dissolution of the political and administrative association with St Kitts. In 1958–62 Anguilla was, along with St Kitts and Nevis, a unit of the short-lived Federation of the West Indies.
