Trinidad, the West Indian island lying just off the Coast of Venezuela, was discovered in 1498 by Columbus on his third voyage. Spanish influence in Trinidad was slight in the first century after the discovery. The Main held more attractions. However an attempt was made in 1530 to set up some kind of government with the appointment of Antonio Sedefio as Governor. An Indian War which lasted four years was to follow this appointment and Sedefio was forced to leave the island. The Spaniards, under Domingo de Vera, returned in 1591 and the city of San /ose/ rfc Orna (now S/. /osc/>A) was founded by Antonio de Berrio. In the following year this city was sacked by Sir Walter Raleigh and the governor, Berrio, taken prisoner. By the turn of the century two thousand colonists had arrived in the island but disease and Carib raids reduced these numbers in a decade to sixty (Vazquez de Espinosa)
