The History of Virgin Islands Day?

The holiday was first established in 1978 as Territory Day, commemorating the adoption of the Virgin Islands Constitution of 1967. The 1967 Constitution was a major milestone, granting the Virgin Islands greater self-government, including the creation of the office of Chief Minister (now Premier).

Territory Day was observed each year on the first Monday in July, serving as a day to recognize the territory's political progress.

In 2020, the Cabinet of the British Virgin Islands decided to rename Territory Day to Virgin Islands Day.

The change reflected a shift from celebrating only constitutional achievements to honoring the broader culture, identity, and heritage of Virgin Islanders.

The renaming also emphasized unity and pride in being part of the Virgin Islands, moving beyond the political framework to include cultural and historical significance.
