Baymen - Ethnic groups in Europe, British Honduras, Belize, Belize City, Buccaneer (disambiguation), Piracy

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Baymen are the earliest European settlers of the eventual colony of British Honduras, modern day Belize. The first Baymen settled in the Belize City area in the 1650's. They were buccaneers and pirates trying to outrun the Spanish rulers in Mexico and Central America. They found that they could make a living cutting and selling logwood to the home country. Many of the first Baymen settled on what is now the Northside of Belize City. They controlled all affairs of municipal and national government through the Public Meeting.
