Virgin Islander culture reflects the various peoples that have inhabited the
present-day British Virgin Islands and U.S. Virgin Islands throughout history.
Although the territories are politically separate, they maintain close cultural ties.
Like much of the English speaking Caribbean, Virgin Islands culture is syncretic,
deriving chiefly from West African, European and American influences. Though
the Danish controlled the present-day U.S. Virgin Islands for many years, the very
dominant language has been an English-based Creole since the 19th century, and
the islands remain much more receptive to English-language popular culture than
any other.
