White Kittitians and Nevisians are people of Saint Kitts and Nevis of European descent. Approximately 2.2% of the population of Saint Kitts and Nevis is European as of 2001.[citation needed]

History

The first Europeans to visit the islands were the Spanish. A substantial portion of the white population in Saint Kitts and Nevis claims descent from Irish and Scottish prisoners exiled to the islands during the rule of Oliver Cromwell. By 1805, 1,500 whites lived on the island of Saint Kitts and 1,300 lived on Nevis.
