The island was discovered by the Spaniards in the 15th century. Then it was used by pirates for about 200 years. As a result of struggle between England and France for possession of the Grenadines, in 1838, Mustique finally became part of the British Empire as a colony. In 1969, Mustique became part of the new Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The island is owned by the Mustique Company, which includes owners of real estate on the island, the wealthiest people from 17 countries, who own about 100 of Mustique's private villas.
