Definition: The term "Tobago" originated in the 17th century when it was part of the British colony of Jamaica, and has since become a separate country. The name Tobago comes from the English word "to-be," referring to the idea of being free or independent. In Trinidad & Tobago, which is officially recognized as a republic but has no constitution, the term "Tobago" is used for the capital city of St. John (also known as Port of Spain), and also includes parts of other municipalities within St. John. The country's official language is English, and most residents speak it at home. The primary languages spoken are Spanish, Haitian Creole, and English. Tobago has a tropical climate with hot and humid conditions throughout the year. The terrain in Tobago consists primarily of flat islands and mountains. There are three main islands that make up the country: St. John, the capital, and other smaller islands such as San Isidro, which is located off the coast. Tobago has a rich history dating back to the days of Spanish colonialism, with its first governor being José de Gálvez. The British government held power for over 100 years before independence was achieved in 1962. The country's economy is largely based on agriculture and tourism. Agriculture is a significant industry, with crops such as rice, sugar, coffee, cocoa, and bananas being grown throughout the country. Tobago has been known as a safe haven for refugees fleeing persecution in other countries, as well as for its stunning natural beauty and vibrant culture. The country's capital, Port of Spain, is home to several international landmarks and museums such as the Royal Caribbean International Museum of Art and the Tobago Cultural Center Museum.
