United States Virgin Islands, on the map of history
What was United States Virgin Islands before it was United States Virgin Islands? Below, every era of this land in the Maps of History collection — who ruled it, what it was called, and when control changed — each line linked to the dated map that shows it. Modern borders stand in as an honest approximation; every atlas says so on the map itself.
