Were the Spaniards first group to settle in Jamaica?

The first group to settle in Jamaica was the indigenous peoples known as the Taínos. The Taínos were a part of the Arawakan-speaking peoples who inhabited the Caribbean region before European contact. They settled in Jamaica around the 7th century AD and developed a rich culture and way of life on the island. The Spaniards were not the first group to settle in Jamaica, but rather the first Europeans to arrive and colonize the island.
