Oranjestad is the capital of the Caribbean island of Aruba. With 30,000 inhabitants, it is also the largest city on the island.
As early as 1796 the Fort Zoutman was founded by the Dutch. Shortly after this time, the first houses were built in this area. Since that time, Oranjestad is the capital of Aruba. Aruba belonged until 1985 to the Dutch Antilles.
