Die Insel war nach ihrer Entdeckung im Jahre 1501 mehr als 300 Jahre lang unbewohnt.
Die Trockenheit der Insel schreckte die wenigen Besucher davon ab, sich auf der Insel niederzulassen. Die Insel wurde schließlich im Jahre 1815 von den Briten besetzt, um eine mögliche Besetzung durch die Franzosen zur Befreiung von Napoleon von St. Helena zu verhindern.
