The story of windmills and large-scale sugar cane production in Antigua Island. England managed to colonize the islands in 1632. The settlers began to cultivate on the island tobacco, ginger but above all the precious sugar cane. It was Sir Christopher Codrington who started the first large plantation of cane sugar in Antigua. Landed on the island in 1674, Sir Christopher Codrington wanted to name the plot of land that would become the most important of all the Caribbean with the name of Betty's Hope in honor of his daughter. Over the centuries and for generations, the Codrington family has distinguished itself for making Betty's Hope the most efficient large scale sugar production estate in Antigua. The workforce was based on African slaves who, in spite of themselves, made it the flagship of the Caribbean.
