'''Kolonysasy'''
[[Bestaand:Vista_sobre_Angra_do_Heroismo.jpg|links|duum|235x235px|[[Angra do Heroísmo]], the oldest continuously-settled town in the archipelago of the Azores and UNESCO World Heritage Site]]
Tu as Santa Maria untdekt wör en de kolonysasy nog mus beginnen, wörren der skööpe löslåten up et eiland üm tookomstige kolonisten wat te etten te geyven, want der warren gin grote deyrs up et eiland.

The archipelago was settled over the centuries largely from mainland Portugal. Portuguese settlers came from the provinces of [[Algarve]], [[Minho Province|Minho]], [[Alentejo Province|Alentejo]] and [[Ribatejo Province|Ribatejo]] as well as [[Madeira]]. São Miguel was first settled in 1444, the settlers – mainly from the [[Estremadura Province (historical)|Estremadura]], Alto Alentejo and Algarve areas of continental Portugal, under the command of Gonçalo Velho Cabral – landing at the site of modern-day [[Povoação]]. Many of the early settlers were also Portuguese Sephardic Jews (New Christians - Jews who became Christian through forced conversion) who fled the pressures of inquisition in mainland Portugal. In 1522 [[Vila Franca do Campo]], then the capital of the island, was devastated by an [[1522 Vila Franca earthquake|earthquake and landslide]] that killed about 5,000 people, and the capital was moved to [[Ponta Delgada]]. The town of Vila Franca do Campo was rebuilt on the original site and today is a thriving fishing and yachting port. Ponta Delgada received its city status in 1546. Since the first settlement, the pioneers applied themselves to the area of agriculture. By the 15th century Graciosa exported wheat, barley, wine and brandy. The goods were sent to Terceira largely because of the proximity of the island.
During the 18th and 19th century, Graciosa was host to many prominent figures, including [[François-René de Chateaubriand|Chateaubriand]], the French writer who passed through upon his escape to America during the French revolution; [[Almeida Garrett]], the Portuguese poet who visited an uncle and wrote some poetry while there; and [[Albert I, Prince of Monaco|Prince Albert of Monaco]], the 19th century oceanographer who led several expeditions in the waters of the Azores. He arrived on his yacht ''Hirondelle'', and visited the ''furna da caldeira'', the noted hot springs grotto. In 1869, the author [[Mark Twain]] published ''[[The Innocents Abroad]]'', a travel book, where he described his time in the Azores.
The first reference to the island of São Jorge was made in 1439 but the actual date of discovery is unknown. In 1443 the island was already inhabited but active settlement only began with the arrival of the noble Flemish native ''Wilhelm Van der Haegen''. Arriving at [[Topo (Azores)|Topo]], where he lived and died, he became known as ''Guilherme da Silveira'' to the islanders. [[João Vaz Corte-Real]] received the captaincy of the island in 1483. [[Velas]] became a town before the end of the 15th century. By 1490, there were 2,000 Flemings living in the islands of Terceira, Pico, Faial, São Jorge and Flores. Because there was such a large Flemish settlement, the Azores became known as the Flemish Islands or the Isles of Flanders. Prince [[Henry the Navigator]] was responsible for this settlement. His sister, [[Infanta Isabel, Duchess of Burgundy|Isabel]], was married to [[Philip the Good|Duke Philip of Burgundy]] of which Flanders was a part. There was a revolt against Philip's rule and disease and hunger became rampant. Isabel appealed to Henry to allow some of the unruly Flemings to settle in the Azores. He granted this and supplied them with the necessary transportation and goods.
The [[Human settlement|settlement]] of the then-unoccupied islands started in 1439 with people mainly from the continental provinces of Algarve and [[Alentejo]]. In 1583, [[Philip II of Spain]], as [[List of Portuguese monarchs|king of Portugal]], sent his fleet to clear the Azores of a combined multinational force of adventurers, mercenaries, volunteers and soldiers who were attempting to establish the Azores as a staging post for a rival [[pretender]] to the Portuguese throne. Following the success of his fleet at the [[Battle of Ponta Delgada]], the captured enemies were hanged from yardarms, as they were considered pirates by Philip II. This was added to the "[[Black Legend]]" by his enemies.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} An English [[Azores Voyage of 1589|expedition to the Azores]] in 1589 was met with success as a few of the islands along with the harbouring ships were plundered. Another English expedition against the Azores in 1597, the [[Islands Voyage]], however failed. Spain held the Azores in what is called The Babylonian captivity of 1580–1642. Into the late 16th century, the Azores as well as [[Madeira]] began to face problems of overpopulation. Spawning from that particular economic problem, some of the people began to emigrate to [[Brazil]].<ref name="ImperialAge1989">{{cite book|first=G.V|last=Scammell|title=The First Imperial Age|year=1989|publisher=Unwin Hyman}}</ref>
