St Thomas, along with St Croix and St John, form the US Virgin Islands (USVI). These islands are located in the Caribbean Sea. The USVI is a territory of the United States so individuals born here are US Citizens.
The Virgin Islands of St Thomas, St John and St Croix were previously Danish colonies during the 17th and early 18th centuries. The United States then purchased the island from Denmark for $25 million dollars in gold coins.
Tourism, trade and rum production are the primary economic activities of the US Virgin Islands. St Thomas is most noted for its lush vegetation, breathtaking views, and pristine blue waters which attract roughly 2.5 - 3 million tourists a year.
The capital and largest city of St Thomas is Charlotte Amalie with a population of 10,354 (2010, US Census). The city is named after Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel who was married to King Christian V thereby becoming Queen of Denmark. Charlotte Amalie is known for its Danish colonial architecture.
The island has a significant association with pirates. Castles named after the pirates Blackbeard (Edward Teach) and the mythical Bluebeard overlook Charlotte Amalie.
Points of interest in St Thomas include Bluebeard's Hill, Legislature of the Virgin Islands, Fort Christian, Vendors Plaza, Emancipation Garden, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Memorial Park, Government House, 99 Steps, Haagensen House, Three Queens Statue, Crown House, Blackbeard's Castle, Estate Catherineberg, Drake's Seat, and Magens Bay. Breathtaking views can be seen from Mountain Top and Charlotte Amalie Overlook.
