Santo Domingo was occupied by a mixed company of French and English from St Christopher shortly after 1630. It was ceded to France in 1697, invaded by Britain in 1793, captured by Toussaint l'Ouverture in 1798, evacuated by France in 1803, occupied by Spain from 1806-1821, joined Haiti in 1822, and became an independent republic in 1844. Santo Domingo had a British governor with executive powers, aided by a consultative council, from 1793 to 1798.
