Jaragua, officially the Jaraguan Republic, is an island country comprising the island of Jaragua and several small islands and cays off its coast. It is located within the Coltegan Passage.
Etymology
The indigenous people, the Emiyit, called the island Sharaka in their language, meaning the "Land of Wood and Water" or the "Land of Springs". Colloquially, Jaraguans refer to their home island as "Jara". Slang names such as "Jar", "Jarland", "Yanya" in Jaraguan, or briefly "Ja", have derived from this.

Prehistory
Early colonial period
During the 1700s the economy boomed, based largely on sugar and other crops for export such as coffee, cotton and indigo. All these crops were worked by black slaves, who lived short and often brutal lives with no rights, being the property of a small planter-class. In the 18th century, slaves ran away and joined the Maroons in increasing numbers, and resulted in The First Maroon War (1728 – 1739/40), which ended in stalemate. The British government sued for peace, and signed treaties with the Leeward Maroons led by Cudjoe and Accompong in 1739, and the Windward Maroons led by Quao and Queen Nanny in 1740.
