A short History Lesson of Madeira
The Portuguese volcanic island of Madeira was discovered in the 1420s by sailors accidentally who were looking for safety on land while in stormy rough seas.
By the mid 15th century, Madeira had a large sugarcane trade with ships arriving from all over the world. The sugarcane itself was nicknamed "White Gold".
Once the sugar trade started to decline in the 16th century, Madeirans turned to wine making. This wine was later served during the declaration of independence signing celebrations in 1776.
In 1807, the British temporarily occupied the island and during their stay, improved the roads, harbours and overall improved the infrastructure. This kicked off the booming tourist trade which the island remains to see to this day.
In 1976, the island was granted autonomous status granting greater control over its own affairs.
The 20th century also brought Madeira's first ever airport in 1964. This was later named after Cristiano Ronaldo, the highly celebrated footballer born on the island's capital, Funchal.
