Description:The first Baymen settled in the Belize City area in the 1650s. 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. The British and Spanish engaged in frequent dispute over the territory even after the 1763 Treaty of Paris established the former's rights to cut logwood. The Baymen were chased out no less than four times between 1717 and 1780. Treaties in 1783 and 1786 gave them more security, but only after the Battle of St. George's Caye in 1798 did the Baymen have full control of the settlement, affirmed by its admission to colonial status in 1863.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
