Spain in <a href="/wiki/1527" title="1527">1527</a>. It functioned as an island extension of Venezuela throughout the 1500s. As mainland colonization advanced, Spain slowly withdrew from the island. The city registry of <a href="/wiki/Caracas" title="Caracas">Caracas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Venezuela" title="Venezuela">Venezuela</a> holds one of the earliest written mentions of Curaçao. A document dated 9 December 1595 states that Francisco Montesinos, <a href="/wiki/Priest" title="Priest">priest</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vicar" title="Vicar">vicar</a> of "the Yslas de Curasao, <a href="/wiki/Aruba" title="Aruba">Aruba</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bonaire" title="Bonaire">Bonaire</a>" conferred his <a href="/wiki/Power_of_attorney" title="Power of attorney">power of attorney</a> to Pedro Gutiérrez de Lugo, a Caracas resident, to collect his ecclesiastic salary from the Royal Treasury of <a href="/wiki/Philip_II_of_Spain" title="Philip II of Spain">King Philip II of Spain</a>. </p><p>The Spanish introduced numerous tree, plant and animal species to Curaçao, including horses, sheep, goats, pigs and cattle from Europe and other Spanish colonies. In general, imported sheep, goats and cattle did relatively well. Cattle were herded by Caquetios and Spaniards and roamed freely in the kunuku plantations and <a href="/wiki/Savanna" title="Savanna">savannas</a>. </p><p>Not all imported species fared equally well, and the Spanish also learned to use Caquetio crops and agricultural methods, as well as those from other Caribbean islands. Though historical sources point to thousands of people living on the island, agricultural yields were disappointing; this and the lack of precious metals in the salt mines led the Spanish to call Curaçao "the useless island". </p><p>Over time, the number of Spaniards living on Curaçao decreased while the number of aboriginal inhabitants stabilized. Presumably through natural growth, return and colonization, the Caquetio population then began to increase. In the last decades of Spanish occupation, Curaçao was used as a large cattle ranch. At that point, Spaniards lived around <a href="/wiki/Santa_Barbara,_Cura%C3%A7ao" class="mw-redirect" title="Santa Barbara, Curaçao">Santa Barbara</a>, Santa Ana and in the villages in the western part of the island, while the Caquetios are thought to have lived scattered all over the island. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Dutch_colonial_rule">Dutch colonial rule</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cura%C3%A7ao&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Dutch colonial rule"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1634, during the <a href="/wiki/Eighty_Years%27_War" title="Eighty Years' War">Eighty Years' War</a> of independence between the <a href="/wiki/Dutch_Republic" title="Dutch Republic">Republic of the Netherlands</a> and Spain, the <a href="/wiki/Dutch_West_India_Company" title="Dutch West India Company">Dutch West India Company</a> under Admiral <a href="/wiki/Johann_van_Walbeeck" class="mw-redirect" title="Johann van Walbeeck">Johann van Walbeeck</a> invaded the island; the Spanish surrendered in San Juan in August.
