The first inhabitants probably migrated from Venezuela around 2500 BC
Peter Stuyvesant
Director of the Dutch West India Company's colony of Curaçao from 1642 to 1644.
The first bank in Curaçao was simply called the Bank and its first director was Johannes van den Bosch. When he arrived in Curaçao in December 1827, he also brought with him five crates of new banknotes, printed by Johan Enschede en Zonen in the Netherlands. Pre-printed on the notes was the date 1827.
That turned out to be rather optimistic. When the Bank opened its doors in 1828 it therefore, had to make do with notes that were wrongly printed.
