Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory. Prior to Queen Elizabeth II's reign, stamps of Antigua, then Leeward Islands, had been used concurrently on the island. On 1 July 1956, only Montserrat stamps were used there, as it became a province of the West Indies Federation, and then later adopted Ministerial Government.
The southeast of the island was struck by a devastating earthquake in July 1995, which wiped out the main town, Plymouth, and its port facilities. Many quakes and tremors continued until 2010. More than 5, 000 of the 7, 000 island population fled to the United Kingdom.
